Six months is a long time to miss someone.
Sixth-grader Axel knows this better than most. While his mom serves overseas on classified intel missions, he's home counting down the days, surviving missed calls and silent holidays.
Then she comes home. Everything is supposed to go back to normal. It doesn't.
Mom sits with her back to the wall and her eyes on the door. She flinches at sounds no one else notices. She can't sleep past 4:30 AM. And when anyone asks how she's doing, she says she's fine-in the voice that means the opposite.
Axel tries everything to help: research projects on PTSD, family game nights, even a support group for military kids. But he's starting to ask the hard question: which part of her didn't make it home? And is loving someone enough to help them find their way back?
This is the part of deployment nobody talks about-what happens after.
The seventh book in the beloved Axel's Story series, this timely and honest story speaks to every military family navigating the invisible wounds of war-and to every kid who's ever felt alone in the waiting.
Perfect for fans of Wishtree and The War That Saved My Life. Recommended for ages 8-12.
