Or it would be perfect if she had a pet or a best friend.\u003cbr\u003eJane is full of ideas that include schemes for an animal to play with. A real pet, not the dik dik that dies, the monkey that tries to bite her fingers, nor the elusive cat that lives in the shed and has just absconded with her litter of kittens. But her plans are derailed as Jane learns she is to move back to America with her family.\u003cbr\u003eAmerica and Africa collide as Jane tries to answer the simple question, \"Where am I from?\" Entering grade school in suburban America for the first time, will she find a best friend a continent away from her real life in Africa? Or is America-where she meets her relatives for laughter and frolicking and big holiday meals-her real home? \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJane Kurtz\u003c\/strong\u003e is an award-winning author of more than forty children's books.
