Safekeeping by Karen Hesse
Radley's parents warned her that all hell would break loose if the American People's Party took power. The news is filled with images of vigilante groups, frenzied looting, and police raids. It seems as if all hell has broken loose. Coming back from volunteering abroad, Radley just wants to get home to Vermont. When her plane lands in New Hampshire, her parents, who always come, day or night, no matter when or where she lands-aren't there. Her cell phone is dead, her credit cards are worthless, and she doesn't have the proper travel papers to cross state lines. Out of options, Radley starts walking. This is a vision of a future America that only Karen Hesse could write: real, gripping, and deeply personal.Karen Hesse is the author of numerous books for children, including the Newbery Medal-winning Out of the Dust, Letters from Rifka, Phoenix Rising, Sable and Lavender. She has won awards such as the Scott O'Dell Historical Fiction Prize, the Christopher Award, and the MacArthur Fellowship Genius Award, making her only the second children's book author to earn this accolade. Hesse was born in Baltimore and attended the University of Maryland. Her spouse Randy and she live in Vermont.
