A refreshingly witty and moving novel that uncovers the true meaning of "home" "Mom's left us a lot. She left us in Dayton, Denver, and Detroit. She left us in Tucson and Teaneck. I make it sound like a song, but it's true. Except that we never did live in Tucson, I just needed another T-town. Anyway, if we had lived in Tucson, she would have left us there too.

Audrey S. review

I liked this book a lot. It is written as if it were a notebook so each day something different happens. Aggie B. Wind and her brother are moving, again. This time, romance writer mom is dropping them off for the summer in Ludwig, Maine, to stay with their 91 year old grandpa, who sleeps all day. But Aggie is still determined to find some good out of this move and she writes everything she does in notebook #27. She finds out that the town is very small and her mom has a twin brother. As soon as Aggie meets Mad, her summer is full of adventures and excitement. I would recommend this book to a girl who is around 11-13 years of age because it is about how a girl spent her summer.

Gotta Read!!!!!

This book was sooooo much fun to read its a great summer bok and anybody can realate to it! I am 13 years old and it was not a hard book to read. It wasn't really thrilling but its a great kids novel i think Agell did a superb job adn I cant wait to read her next novel!

Amazing!

This book is one of the best books I have read. It is about a thirteen year-old who move to Maine, and it is written in a diary form. It has lovable characters and a plot that will keep you reading. This book is no-doubt a page-turner. I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
