When Fern and her mother escape their off-grid, cultish existence in the middle of the night, Fern must navigate the outside world, a bittersweet journey that forces her to question the "idyllic" life she leaves behind. Kinnunen delivers an outstanding narration, giving Fern depth, personality, and a full range of emotion as she confronts the truth and learns to trust herself and others in this engrossing 2025 Newbery Honor recipient.
