EL - ESSENTIAL 

Army brat/Navy brat this is what you are called when your mom or dad is in the armed forces. Most of these families have to move from base to base, depending on where their parent is assigned. Piper has “moved more times than she can count on one hand” and she is only 9yo. This time her family is moving to Pepsi-Cola(Pensacola) Florida. Moving can be exciting, but it also means saying good-bye to friends, schools, and neighbors. For Piper it means saying good-bye to the Gypsy Club. The Gypsy club was a special club for Piper and her closest friends. Will there be anyone to start up a new Gypsy club with in Pensacola?

Piper is a spunky girl who has lots of adventures as she learns to make new friends and adjust to new places. For kids who love Junie B. Jones.
