āLa escritura de Hunt es intrĆ©pida y Una para los Murphys es una historia que es a la vez tierna, estimulante y hermosamente contada. Me sumergĆ en la historia de Carley desde la primera pĆ”gina. Ella es un personaje que no debe perderse ni olvidarseā. ā Jacqueline Woodson, autora de NiƱa morena sueƱa, obra ganadora del National Book Award.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Fish in a Tree!
Carley uses humor and street smarts to keep her emotional walls high and thick. But the day she becomes a foster child, and moves in with the Murphys, she's blindsided. This loving, bustling family shows Carley the stable family life she never thought existed, and she feels like an alien in their cookie-cutter-perfect household. Despite her resistance, the Murphys eventually show her what it feels like to belong--until her motherĀ wants her back and Carley has to decide where and how to live. She's not really a Murphy, but the gifts they've given her have opened up a new future.
"Hunt's writing is fearless and One For The Murphys is a story that is at once compassionate, thought-provoking and beautifully told. From the first page, I was drawn into Carley's story. She is a character not to be missed or forgotten." āJacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming
Winner of the Tassy Walden Award for New Voice in Children's Literature
