What They’re Saying About
Make Me a Home
Allie Claybrook has spent the
better part of her sixth-grade year as the "new kid" at Edna
Elementary School - a title she is eager to shed. When Ivy
Peterson moves to town, Allie quickly becomes her friend. It
doesn't hurt that Ivy's older brother, Ty, is the best-looking
boy in the seventh grade. But it doesn't help that Celeste -
the most popular girl in Allie's class - shares Allie's views
about Ty. As Allie deals with her father's deployment to Iraq
and Ivy deals with her parents' divorce, the girls discover
the importance of friendship and a place to call home.
"Make
Me a Home is a great story and truly captures the
roller coaster of emotions that a young person might
experience during the deployment of a loved one."

"Having read and
enjoyed Make Me a Memory, I eagerly looked
forward to reading Make Me a Home. I was not
disappointed at all. Tamra Norton has a way of
creating characters so real, it's as if she looked
into their minds and hearts and then gave the reader a
glimpse inside."
