There are places where you want to go and places where you want to leave. There are also places where you want to stay.Nine-year-old Daniel must move across the county with his mom after his parents' divorce. He's leaving behind his whole life--everything--and he's taking a suitcase of anger with him. But Daniel is in for a surprise when he settles into While-a-Way Lane and meets his new neighbors--the Lemonade Girl, the hopscotching mailman, the tiny creatures, and especially Tilda Butter. Tilda knows how to look and listen closely, and it's that gift that helps Daniel find his way in that curious placed called While-a-Way Lane. This title has Common Core connections.
