  According to Claire’s dad, every day is a Grand Adventure. 
   
  There might be a spaceship buried in the backyard, or a ghost in the basement, or a troll king who spies through the pipes. Claire used to love these stories, especially tales about her long-absent mom. But now that she’s twelve, Claire is tired of all the fantasy and just wants to know the truth. 
   
  So when her dad sells their house and moves the family into a converted van, she refuses to embrace the latest Grand Adventure, despite her little brother’s excitement. Why did they really leave home? And where are they going? Without answers, Claire is faced with a choice: Will she play along  
  with the stories her dad is spinning? Or will she force her family to face reality once and for all? 
   
  Equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking, Wrong Way Summer is a road-trip journey and coming-of-age story about one girl’s struggle to understand when a lie is really a lie, and when it’s something more: hope.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  My name is Victoria Howard and when Mom died just shy of my tenth birthday, nothing could have prepared me for the pain of dealing with my loss. Imagine my surprise when just a few weeks later, on my tenth birthday, Mom had planned a special gift to be delivered to me. 
  A puppy named Sir Percival Howard. A Chinese Pug. As if he could ever replace my Mom! 
  I was angry with my mother. So angry I was determined not to let Percy into my heart. He wasn't a substitute to make me forget my loss. As hard as I tried to ignore this pesky puppy, he just didn't get the hint. 
  But as time went on, something changed, maybe I changed. And I came to realize Percy was the one who would see me through those changes. Maybe it was Mom's plan all along to provide me with a companion to help lessen the loneliness and insecurities that come with growing up. Maybe Percy was part of that plan. So, despite my earlier resolve to reject my puppy, I allowed Percy to worm his way into my life, and into my heart. My rewards came in ways I could never have expected. Thanks, Mom.

  For thousands of years, the Elwha river flowed north to the sea. The river churned with salmon, which helped feed bears, otters, and eagles. The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, known as the Strong People located in the Pacific Northwest, were grateful for the river's abundance. All that changed in the 1790s when strangers came who did not understand the river's gifts. The strangers built dams, and the environmental consequences were disastrous. Sibert honoree Patricia Newman and award-winning illustrator Natasha Donovan join forces to tell the story of the Elwha, chronicling how the Strong People successfully fought to restore the river and their way of life.
