Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Izzy's world is turned upside down by her father's new marriage and a cousin's tragic loss. When Uncle Henderson vanishes, Izzy, her cousin Oliver, and rebellious Ben unite on a road trip to find him. As they navigate their differences and the open road, they uncover the true meaning of family and acceptance. Will they find Henderson, and what else will they discover along the way?

From the publisher

Twelve-year-old Izzy’s life just seems to get more and more complicated: she is upset by her father’s new marriage, and a new baby on the way; she is expected to look out for her ten-year-old cousin, Oliver, who has moved in with her family since his mother committed suicide, because his father is depressed and having trouble coping; and now Ben, the rebellious sixteen-year-old son of Izzy’s mother’s boyfriend, is also living with them–but when Oliver’s father disappears, the three children put aside their differences and set out to find him.
