Farewell Friends (Fort Goode, Book #3)

by Winsome Bingham, Colin Bootman (Illustrator)

Overview

In the third and final book in this military series, Lang meets the new family moving into the house across the street. Lang's momma knows the new kids' mother, Mrs. Bradley, and the two families instantly bond over shared food and fun. But one day a car - the kind that no family on a military base wants to see - pulls up beside the house. When the officer delivers the news no one wants to hear, Lang and his family jump into action to help their friends as they also evaluate their future living at Fort Goode. But there is one thing Lang and his parents know: "as long as we together, we home."
