About Across the Pond
After a painful friendship breakup in San Diego, 12-year-old Callie jumps at the chance to reinvent herself when her family inherits a castle in Scotland. But life in a crumbling castle is colder and stranger than she imagined, and fitting in proves just as hard across the pond as it was at home. When Callie joins a local birding club to satisfy her parents' one social condition, she unexpectedly finds kindred spirits—and a hidden WWII diary that helps her understand belonging. Praised by Kirkus Reviews as 'emotionally perceptive,' this heartwarming novel by NYT-bestselling author Joy McCullough is perfect for ages 8–12.
