My students were eager to find out if there would be a Fiona sequel! This book touches the heart and brings to light the emotional roller coaster foster kids ride every day. A great book for deep classroom discussion." -Chris Kawchak, Teacher "Fiona, Forever? is a lively, heartwarming tale of a girl growing up in foster care, and her hearts desire to find a family.
