Gordon Korman meets The Great Outdoors in this funny and moving
debut about a boy who goes on a disastrous family vacation
(sweltering heat! bear chases!) that ends with a terrible surprise:
his dad's new girlfriend. There are zero reasons for Theo Ripley to
look forward to his family vacation. Not only are he, sister Laura,
and nature-obsessed Dad going to Big Bend, the least popular
National Park, but once there, the family will be camping. And Theo
is an indoor animal. It doesn't help that this will be the first
vacation they're taking since Mom passed away. Once there, the
family contends with 110 degree days, wild bears, and an annoying
amateur ornithologist and his awful teenage vlogger son. Then,
Theo's dad hits him with a whopper of a surprise: the whole trip is
just a trick to introduce his secret new girlfriend. Theo tries to
squash down the pain in his chest. But when it becomes clear that
this is an auditioning-to-be-his-stepmom girlfriend, Theo must find
a way to face his grief and talk to his dad before his family is
forever changed.
