Review posted May 7, 2024. Henry Holt and Company, 2024. 275 pages. Review written April 29, 2024, from a library book. Starred Review 2024 Sonderbooks Stand-out: #2 More Children's Fiction This book is a follow-up to the amazing and wonderful book The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, and the sequel is equally amazing and wonderful. I think you can enjoy the second book without reading the first, but why would you?

Ferris finds herself in the midst of several love stories during the summer before fifth grade. Emma Phineas Wilkey’s moniker comes from the circumstances of her birth: under the Ferris wheel at the fairground. Her contained world, centered around her family and best friend, is filled with kindness, humor, and singular personalities, while the indeterminate late-20th-century small-town setting feels like a safe place from which to observe heartbreak and loss.
