The Ambassador of Nowhere Texas

Decades after the Vietnam War and Toby’s life-changing summer with Zachary Beaver, Toby’s daughter Rylee is at a crossroads ― her best friend Twig has started pushing her away just as Joe, a new kid from New York, settles into their small town of Antler. Rylee befriends Joe and learns that Joe’s father was a first responder on 9/11. The two unlikely friends soon embark on a project to find Zachary Beaver and hopefully reconnect him with Rylee's father almost thirty years later.

This is a stunning post-9/11 companion to the National Book Award-winner When Zachary Beaver Came to Town. Rylee draws strength from her new friendship with Joe as she tries to reunite her father and Beaver, thirty years after they first met. This beautiful middle grade novel is a tribute to friendships ― old and new ― and explores the challenges of rebuilding what may seem lost or destroyed.

Description

"Returning readers will appreciate National Book Award winner Holt’s attention to detail as she revisits characters, while newcomers will be drawn to Rylee’s empathy, protectiveness of her community, and curiosity about the world and her place in it. The thoughtfully drawn setting circumvents the ease of contemporary internet access, creating a hearty mystery unraveled with local librarians’ assistance and earnest intergenerational conversations. A quiet celebration of friendship, no matter how brief." — Publishers Weekly
