A moving middle-grade story about love, loss, and the unlikely places we find home.
Poppy's life has been turned upside down after her grandma (and guardian) had a stroke and ended up in the hospital. But Poppy is working on a plan to help Grandma Beth so their life together can go back to normal. But when she witnesses an armed robbery, "back to normal" slips even further out of her reach. To keep Poppy safe, the budget-strapped police devise an unusual "witness protection program," wherein Poppy will stay with Detective Brannigan's mother. Soon Poppy is feeling almost at home, even making sort-of friends with a girl named Lizzie and definitely friending Gunner, a beautiful dog with an uncertain fate. But it's still not home. So while she and Lizzie navigate a rocky friendship and plot to save Gunner's life, Poppy also tries to figure out a new plan to save Grandma Beth and their home, all while avoiding a dangerous robber who might be searching for her. But what if Grandma Beth can never come home and the robber is put behind bars? What will happen to Poppy then?

This is a good book! It tells me somethings about the artist.
This book was truly amazing. I think my favorite part of the book is when Poppy calls Trey, telling him that herself and Lizzie saw William Eugene Frank, and how the police and Trey all captured Frank. A Million Ways Home by Dianna Dorisi Winget deserves a five stars rating!
This book is about a dog name Poppy Parker ends up in a hospital, but he can fix a lot of problems were ever he goes because he can fix problems because it said in the book. I love this book really bad.
This book is so good! The author does a great job of displaying emotion. When Poppy was sad, I was sad, and when she was scared, I was scared. This was such a good book and I recommend it to everyone!
