In trying to reunite with her mother, Winston discovers the many meanings of family and finds friendship in an unexpected place in this โwarm, humorous, and poignant storyโ (Publishers Weekly) from the author of Waiting, which Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, called โexceptionalโ and Glimpse, which Booklist called โgripping.โ
Life is just fine for fourteen-year-old Winston. She loves her dog, Thelma, and although she never knew her dad, and her mom left ten years ago in search of Hollywood fame, Winston has family with Nanny, who isnโt old at all! But a โjust fineโ life gets a lot more exciting when a letter arrives from Skye Harper, aka Judith Fletcher, aka Winstonโs mother. She needs help, and Nanny says the best way to give it is to take a cross-country road tripโin a โborrowedโ motor homeโto go find Mama once and for all. Winstonโs not so sure about this plan, but with a cute stowaway named Steve along for company and an adventure on the horizon, this is sure to be a summer to remember.
