Tackling divorce and suicide with a warmth and sensitive humor that refuses to be weighed down, Someone Else''s Shoes chronicles a road trip that unites three young people in search of family and acceptance. Fans of Sharon Draper, Jo Knowles, and Counting by Sevens will be moved by this tale of what brings us together when things fall apart.

Twelve-year-old Izzy, a budding stand-up comic, is already miserable about her father''s new marriage and the new baby on the way. Then ten-year-old cousin Oliver and his father, Uncle Henderson, move in with Izzy and her mom because Oliver''s mother committed suicide only a few months ago. And to make matters worse, Ben, the rebellious 16-year-old son of Izzy''s mother''s boyfriend, winds up staying with them, too.

But when Uncle Henderson--who has been struggling with depression after his wife''s suicide--disappears, Ben, Izzy, and Oliver set aside their differences and hatch a plan to find him. As the threesome travels in search of Henderson, they find a surrogate family in each other. Less
