Since as far back as Ben can remember, it's been him, his devoted dad, and Sunshine--Ben's little dog, who rarely leaves Ben's side. It was Mom who did the leaving, and Ben's about to spend a whole week with his suddenly present mother in the wilds of northern Minnesota. On the remote island she calls home, Ben will learn to canoe, weather the elements, and weigh a burning question: when will she come back to where she belongs? A must-read for dog lovers, children of divorce, and the imaginative and outdoorsy, \u003ci\u003eSunshine\u003c\/i\u003e is a poignant, ultimately hopeful story about self-discovery, facing big realities, and finally, forgiving the things--and people--you can't forget.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarion Dane Bauer\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning author of more than one hundred books for young people, including the Newbery Honor Book \u003ci\u003eOn My Honor\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Stuff of Stars\u003c\/i\u003e.
