"Unsinkable Cayenne" is a Red Maple 2026 nominee. This book is written in free verse from the perspective of 12 year old Cayenne. Until recently, Cayenne and her family lived in a van, travelling the country. With the arrival of her twin brother and sister, Cayenne's father took a job at a sawmill and the family settled down. Cayenne's mother isn't particularly thrilled about this, but Cayenne is. This is an opportunity to go to a real school and make friends. Since this story is told in free verse, it is a quick and engaging read. It's a touching story of family, friendship, growing up, and discovering what is truly important in life.
