"Friendship can take you anywhere"--Cover.

"To some kids, Amelia's life sounds like the ultimate fantasy. She and her brothers are homeschooled by their adventurous parents, and the family travels around the country, scaling mountains, rappelling down canyons, and skiing down double black diamond slopes. However, Amelia didn't inherit the family's daredevil gene. So when her parents decide to move to Colorado, Amelia's delighted by the chance to settle down. But starting at a conventional school is much harder than Amelia imagined, and her anxiety makes meeting new friends extra challenging. Everything about her feels wrong, from her clothes, to her hobbies, to her complete lack of pop culture knowledge. So when Amelia's given the chance to volunteer at an alpaca ranch, she's delighted by the chance to do something she's good at--taking care of animals. And soon, the alpacas and their owners start to feel like real friends. But when a cruel classmate's prank puts the alpacas in mortal peril, Amelia will have to summon strength she never knew she possessed to save the only place that's ever felt like home"--Publisher's website.
