Frenchie's Castle (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

"In the evenings everyone would sit around the table that held up the enormous sound machine and listen to Frenchie's Castle. Each child that stayed at the cottage was introduced to this spectacular yet peculiar radio show and its magnificent journeys. Mr. Harris taught them how to use their imaginations and how to step into Frenchie's world with nothing more than their minds. They were told that no matter where they were or how they were feeling, they should never ever forget to listen to the show. It would forever bring sunshine into their lives..."Due to an unexpected loss, Rose Fine moves in with her best friend, Rachel Harris, whose parents run a temporary foster home.

Together Rose and Rachel grow up and try to spread the spirit of Frenchie's Castle. In the end Rose and Rachel uncover life-changing secrets and the means to bring the children back home to the love that was wrongfully taken away from them.
