She had been praying hard for something to happen that would make it impossible to move but so far, nothing's come up. Instead, some of her teachers told her how much fun it is to move. They told her a little bit about Pennsylvania and it sounded like a cool place. It's a good thing because it looks like she really will be moving. It is terrifying but it is kind of exciting at the same time, like she is about to go on a fantastic new adventure.

Her mom and dad have been busy all day helping the movers pack everything into the enormous van, when she hears the big truck finally close the door and drive away. Faith runs outside and sees it pulling away down the street.... Find out what happens next in this Christian mystery for kids ages 8-13 by Katherine Kendall.
