Fly Away by Patricia MacLachlan 
108 pages
Lucy’s family is on their way to help her aunt, Frankie.  Rain is on the way, which could mean flooding on her property and even though she insists she doesn’t need help, they are going anyway.  Lucy’s family is her father, her mother, her younger sister and her baby brother.  Everyone in Lucy’s family can sing except her.  Even her brother, who can’t talk yet, sings.  Teddy sings to Lucy at night.  It is their secret.  He doesn’t sing the words, but he sings the tunes and he has perfect pitch.  The rain starts while they are on the way to their aunt’s house and there is so much water that it is a little scary.  Then, while at Frankie’s house disaster strikes and Lucy finds that even though she can’t sing, she still has a voice.  A really short easy story for early chapter book readers, a lot of younger kids who like real life stories about family will enjoy this book.
