In a Small Space

Tad Phippen Wente

Karmon is 13 when she is sent to work as an au pair in the home of strangers. She knows this will help her parents get back on their feet after losing the house. But she is not happy there, so she decides to leave and find a job on her own. At night, she sleeps in an abandoned theater in the company of snow, stars, and pigeons. During the day, she spends time in the library or plays piano in a dance studio. She keeps her homelessness a secret, even from herself. Soon she discovers her family has moved out of their apartment. Will her independent spirit and love of learning be enough to reunite her with her family?
