Publisher Description
From the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Fish in a Tree!
Carley uses humor and street smarts to keep her emotional walls high and thick. But the day she becomes a foster child, and moves in with the Murphys, she's blindsided. This loving, bustling family shows Carley the stable family life she never thought existed, and she feels like an alien in their cookie-cutter-perfect household. Despite her resistance, the Murphys eventually show her what it feels like to belong--until her mother wants her back and Carley has to decide where and how to live. She's not really a Murphy, but the gifts they've given her have opened up a new future.
"Hunt's writing is fearless and One For The Murphys is a story that is at once compassionate, thought-provoking and beautifully told. From the first page, I was drawn into Carley's story. She is a character not to be missed or forgotten." —Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming
Winner of the Tassy Walden Award for New Voice in Children's Literature

I love the touching story but I NEED a sequel, I want to know why happensss! If you made it this far ty for reading my review definitely read this book! Byeee<3
Made me get teary-eyed at the end
I wanted to cry so bad.
Great book.
This book made me cry at the end (but in a good way😊)
I loved this book so much! (If you haven’t finished the book yet, I wouldn’t recommend reading this part.)
Although I do wish at the very end that Carley was adopted by the Murphy family instead of going back to Las Vegas, the book itself was amazing and the lesson taught will stick with you for as long as you can remember. The author did an amazing job with this book! It would be just wonderful if the author would please make a sequel!
