Destiny's Safari

Twelve-year-old Destiny has a perfect life until her dad announces that he and her mother are getting a divorce. Destiny's life becomes a roller coaster. She repeatedly skips school with her best friend, her grades drop, and she often daydreams about the way things were. Destiny's mother has had enough and sends her from her home in New York to live with her no-nonsense grandmother in North Carolina. On the train, Destiny meets thirteen-year-old Tyrek, whom she calls occasionally. At her new school, a classmate named Sherry seeks to make Destiny's life miserable. Destiny gets fed up with the whole situation. Will she ever fit in? Will she make a turnaround? Will her life ever get back to normal?
