Nine-year-old Piper is not having an easy time. She is the middle child in her family, she is dyslexic, and she is a Navy brat. She is not happy when her father announces that once again he is being transferred to a new Navy base.

Piper has moved more times than she can remember and she is tired of having to make new friends again. This time they are moving from

California to Florida, where her father will have to leave on ship duty for six months.

And to make it all worse—school has already started.
