Twelve-year-old Tommy doesn't need another foster home, he needs freedom. Sarcastic, street-smart, and determined to stay unattached, he's perfected the art of driving adults crazy. But his latest placement is different. "Grandpa," a cheerful thirty-something with a taste for odd traditions, seems immune to Tommy's tricks. At Grandpa's home, the daily routine feels more like boot camp than babysitting. A dinosaur stands guard on the lawn, "mud pies" are served for dinner, and strange projects hum with life in the workshop. When Tommy teams up with another foster kid, Annie, whose regal name comes with an equally regal attitude, the two find themselves drawn into a pact neither planned to keep. As their training gets tougher, the inventions grow stranger, and Grandpa's secrets become harder to ignore, Tommy begins to see what trust and belonging might really mean. But the biggest secret of all is still ahead... and once revealed, it could change everything. The Foster Pact: Defiance to Acceptance is a heartwarming, adventurous story about friendship, trust, and the families we choose.
