Claire is twelve and her brother Patrick is eight, too young to understand that their mother left them with their dad after Claire discovered divorce papers after she'd gone.
Their dad 'sells' their house and buys a van for them to live in as they road trip around the people he knows from his past.
As Claire misses home, her friend Ronnie and her brother Mike who Claire crushes on, she wants to know, where is the summer heading, will they be finding their mum?
Her dad is a vivid storyteller and tells a continuous story as the book goes on too the kids and it was an adventure for sure as their dad takes them round his old friends and family members rebuilding relationships trying to move on and make things better for his kids. It was a great book to show how desperate times doesn't mean everything isn't salvageable and that moving on can be rough but positive for the future.
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
