The Girl from Away tells the story of Andrea who spends Christmas in Anderson Arm, Newfoundland with her extended family while her mother and mother's new husband holiday in Florida.
What is great about the book is that it highlights the language and cultural differences from a small town in Newfoundland as Andrea, from Toronto, is learning about them.
