The Berry Pickers By Amanda Peters (Grades 10+)
Amanda Peters is a descendent of a revolutionary war sailor of Mi'kmaq ancestors, a Canadian, a reader of books, a teller of stories, and the author of The Berry Pickers. A four-year-old girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine. She is last seen sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. In Maine, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. She is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. Unwilling to abandon her intuition, she will spend decades trying to uncover this hunch as well as something her parents aren't telling her.
