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?

Wow, that's the first thing that comes to mind when you will ask me what to say about this book. A Million Ways Home just proves that a simple story can hit you quite hard.
This is a very moving story about a young girl who finds her world upside down after she witnesses a crime and after her only family member left, her grandmother is admitted to an elderly home. I felt so much for Poppy, it was so sad what happened to her. I can't imagine what I would do when I was in her shoes. Probably I wouldn't be so brave and couragious as her.Because that what she was. Another brilliant part of this book is how she builds up a special bond with Gunner, who she meets at the animal shelter. He is an outcast too, but she knows in a magical way to wins his trust.
I wouldn't post any more spoilers here, I can only say once more that i highly recommend this brilliant book.
