Ten-year-old Evelina splits her time between Minnesota and the North Carolina Appalachian Mountains where her best friend Wiley lives. She is devastated when a hurricane hits North Carolina in the fall, and shocked when Wiley shows up on her doorstep in Minnesota after his house is completely destroyed from the storm. Evelina and Wiley are usually romping around the mountains, eating peaches, playing music by the river, going into town for milkshakes and playing with Wiley's dog Scruffy Bones, but now Wiley gets to experience Evelina's life in Minnesota. As Evelina's Minnesota friend, Violet, battles jealousy and feeling left out, Wiley wonders where he will live, Evelina's Dad is working behind the scenes to rebuild Wiley's home, and Evelina is scared that when she returns to the mountains it won't feel the same. A light-hearted read wrapped in timeless themes of adventure, growth, and the power of family and friends.
