Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Jordan escapes her mundane life in Delaware for a London exchange program, only to find herself stuck overnight in a massive department store with her reluctant host sister, Caroline. As they explore the store's luxuries, their adventure spirals into unforeseen trouble. Can they navigate the chaos and find common ground, or will their escapade lead to disaster? Discover how a night of unexpected freedom challenges their perceptions and forges an unlikely bond.

From the publisher

A tween’s foreign exchange experience lands her in London luxury–and some hot water as well! Twelve-year-old Jordan isn’t unhappy, but she’s definitely bored. So when she gets the chance to take part in a London exchange program, she’s thrilled to ditch her small town in Delaware and see the world across the pond. Unfortunately, Jordan’s host sister in London, Caroline, isn’t exactly enthusiastic about entertaining an American girl. Despite the chilly welcome, Jordan finds herself loving the city and Caroline’s group of friends, who are much nicer than Caroline herself. And then a major misstep leaves Jordan and Caroline trapped together overnight–inside Daphne’s, the world’s largest department store. Given they have complete access to all the fancy shoes, designer dresses, and coolest makeup around, there are worse places to be stuck. But when the girls’ fun has not-so-fun consequences, Jordan’s wish for excitement abroad turns into a lot more than she ever bargained for…
