An Amazon Best Book of the Month, April 2013: Eleven-year-old Annie and her younger brother, Rew, have long wondered what their father was like. All they know is what Gran told them--that he died in a fight--but Gran is an unreliable narrator at best. Life was already unraveling when a sudden turn of events shatters what little stability remained and relationships are questioned, lies exposed, and both children suddenly have to grow up even more than they already have. Zebra Forest is a slim, suspense-filled novel that speaks volumes about family stories riddled with secrets, betrayal in the name of love, and finding forgiveness.--Seira Wilson

Annie begins her summer with a lie.  She writes her wishes for summer for a class assignment with three lies because she knows her real wishes can't come true.  She really  wants to get tall, have an adventure, and meet her dad.  According to Gran, Annie and Rew's dad was killed by an angry man and their mom dumped them off when they were very young.    They live in the small town of Sunshine with a population of 2,000.  Adventures seem to be very hard to find in their small town.
