Eleven-year-old Glory Thompson is perfectly content blending into the background of her big, boisterous Colombian-American family. But when her dad gets a new job all the way across the world in St. Petersburg, Russia, her comfortable life is turned upside down.

Suddenly, Glory and her family are immersed in a world of baffling customs, weird food (who puts sour cream in EVERYTHING?), stern-faced strangers on crowded metros, and a language they can’t understand. To make matters worse, their new apartment comes with a dragon of a landlady who despises noise and absolutely forbids pets.

When a scruffy, injured street dog named Snowflake hobbles into their lives, Glory knows she has to save her—even if it means risking everything and breaking every rule.

Join Glory for a heart-warming adventure as she navigates cultural mishaps, forms unexpected new friendships, and discovers that home isn't a place, but the people you’re with.
