When her family is suddenly evicted, Wing learns the true meanings of sisterhood, family, and home, in this moving novel from Leslie Connor, award-winning author of The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle.
All Wing has known is her house in New Haven, where she lives with her parents and two sisters. But when their landlord gives them 40 days to leave their house, they're forced to pack what they can into Gertie Blue—their trusty skoolie—and head up the coast for the summer.
Driving through Maine feels like a vacation at first, with new places to explore and Wing's sisters by her side. But as the weeks pass, their trip starts to feel less like an adventure and more like they've lost something irreplaceable—a home.
Leslie Connor returns with a poignant story about homelessness that questions the meaning of home and the decisions we make to keep it.
