The Angel In Jackson's Pocket [Paperback]

Jackson is homesick for home, missing his old neighborhood as his family moved into a new town. However, things begin to brighten for young Jackson when he hears a neighbor talk about a local carnival in town. His parents agree to go and the family goes to the carnival together to enjoy the rides, especially Jackson's favorite, the merry-go-round. As Jackson waits for the ride, his parents get interrupted by their phones and Jackson moves ahead onto the ride alone. The ride is fun, but Jackson soon realizes he has wandered away from his parents and is now lost at the carnival. He is not alone though, in author Fran Sullivan's children's book, The Angel in Jackson's Pocket, as the terrified Jackson is aided by a surprise helper. Narrated by the exuberant Jackson, readers will like the trip to the carnival and learning lessons on spending necessary time with family.
