Bookroo's summary

As chaos ensues, Ronnie learns that some adventures can't be planned. Will she find her brother and discover what she truly needs?

From the publisher

VERONICA SPARKS IS hitting the road and she is going to shake the dust of her little town off her shoes and see the world! Well, someday. For now, she’s hitting the road in an RV with her cantankerous grandfather and her hyperactive little brother. Ronnie’s grandfather is a wind prospector, and they are heading across Kansas in search of a good stiff breeze. Okay, so it’s not the trip of her dreams. But with her newly affirmatized attitude, Ronnie figures that traveling somewhere is better than traveling nowhere. That is, until her little brother manages to disappear into thin air. On one weird, windy, wild ride across the prairie, Ronnie discovers that there are some things you just can’t plan for or seize control of–but that sometimes a little chaos is just what a girl needs.
