My One Hundred Adventures by Polly Horvath

My One Hundred Adventures by Polly Horvath

THE WINNER OF a National Book Award, a Newbery Honor, and countless other awards has written her richest, most spirited book yet, filled with characters that readers will love, and never forget.

Jane is 12 years old, and she is ready for adventures, to move beyond the world of her siblings and single mother and their house by the sea, and step into the "know-not what." And, over the summer, adventures do seem to find Jane, whether it's a thrilling ride in a hot-air balloon, the appearances of a slew of possible fathers, or a weird new friendship with a preacher and psychic wannabe. Most important, there's Jane's discovery of what lies at the heart of all great adventures: that it's not what happens to you that matters, but what you learn about yourself.

And don't miss Polly Horvath's Northward to the Moon, the sequel to My One Hundred Adventures.

Everything on a Waffle, The Canning Season, and One Year in Coal Harbor are just a few of Polly Horvath's books for children and young adults. She has won multiple honors, including the National Novel Award, the Newbery Honor, the Toronto Dominion Award, the International White Raven, and the Young Adult Book of the Year from the Canadian Library Association. She's also been nominated for the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis, Germany's most prestigious literary prize, as well as the Writer's Trust Vicky Metcalfe Award for her body of work, among many others. Her works have been bestsellers in the New York Times and Publishers Weekly, and have been recommended by Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah.
