Three Days / Donna Jo Napoli 151 p.

Eleven-year old Jackie and her dad are enjoying time together, driving the hills in Italy when her dad experiences a heart attack and dies.  Bewildered she signals for help.  She gets a ride with two men who don't speak English and she speaks no Italian.  She sees that they are not driving her to the police for help.  They take her to a small village to stay with a motherly woman.  Turns out she has lost her teen-age daughter.  In three days she makes connections with the sad woman who does get her home.
