“While the topic of moving is covered in a multitude of picture books, this one looks at it from a difficult perspective that most authors choose to avoid or gloss over.” — School Library Journal (starred review) Almost everything Callie’s family owns is in their front yard — their furniture, their potted flowers, even Callie’s bike. They can’t stay in this house and are moving to a smaller apartment where most of their things won’t fit, so today they are having a yard sale.

This book details a striking political relationship between American Ambassador Frederic Sackett and German Chancellor Heinrich Brning and their attempts to save the Weimar Republic, achieve German nationalist goals, and thwart Adolf Hitler''s drive to power. Sackett believed that financial policy was at the heart of German problems and, unless resolved, could be the basis for Hitler''s success. Very early in his tenure in Berlin, Sackett saw Hitler and the Nazis as a serious danger to the Weimar Republic and to peace in Europe. The American thought that misrule by incompetent and inefficient Nazis would pave the way for a communist state. Although at first he saw the Nazis as harbingers of worse to come, in time he came to see Hitler as the real threat to democracy in Germany.
