From two extraordinary authors comes a moving, exuberant, laugh-out-loud novel about friendship and family, told entirely in emails and letters.
Avery Bloom, who's bookish, intense, and afraid of many things, particularly deep water, lives in New York City. Bett Devlin, who's fearless, outgoing, and loves all animals as well as the ocean, lives in California. What they have in common is that they are both 12 years old and are both being raised by single, gay dads.
When their dads fall in love, Bett and Avery are sent, against their will, to the same sleepaway camp. Their dads hope they will find common ground and become friends - and possibly, one day, even sisters.
But things soon go off the rails for the girls (and for their dads, too), and they find themselves on a summer adventure that neither of them could have predicted. Now that they can't imagine life without each other, will the two girls (who sometimes call themselves Night Owl and Dogfish) figure out a way to be a family?
Read by Cassandra Morris and Imani Parks, with Michael Crouch, Sullivan Jones, Bahni Turpin, and Renata Friedman, featuring Cassandra Campbell, Robbie Daymond, Giordon Diaz, Alexandra Harris, Jonathan McClain, Emily Rankin, Abigail Revasch, Erin Spencer, and Emily Woo Zeller.

An Amazon Best Book of the Month for February 2019
Number Three on the Indie Next List for Spring 2019 for Independent Booksellers
A Publishers Weekly Most Anticipated Children's Book of 2019
"Built on a foundation of absurdity, coincidence, and the occasional rather good one-liner, the novel manages the difficult balancing act of using increasingly ridiculous, and often funny, situations to drill home the idea that every close relationship takes hard work, particularly when things start going south." (The New York Times)
"This is a convincing and heartwarming look into the experiences of female friendship.... An imaginative and compelling middle-grade novel depicting modern friendships and modern families." (School Library Journal, starred review)
“Written entirely in emails and letters, this laugh-out-loud novel showcases the collaborative skills of best-selling authors Sloan (Short) and Wolitzer (Bellzhar).... Featuring a dramatic climax and a host of surprising twists, the novel affirms that families conventional and unconventional are families just the same.” (Publishers Weekly)

The narrators are the perfect "tween" girls and I love that they're so different, yet so good for one another. Avery's neuroses are spot-on and Bett's fearlessness is the girl I always wanted to be. And, the supporting cast is marvelous - Bahni Turpin, Sullivan Jones - two of my favorites.
