Summer Break
A Middle-grade Novel
Coming Summer 2027
June Parker thinks her life is perfect just the way it is.
She lives with her mom on a small island off the coast of California. June loves her routine and is sure this summer is going to be the best one yet.
Everything takes a turn when the Ortiz family - dad James and kids Greta, Brody, and Sophie - moves to town. Things get even worse when June and Greta find out their mom and dad are dating! It threatens to turn everything upside down unless the girls work together to split their parents up - like a reverse Parent Trap.
And so begins a summer of schemes, heists, fake pirate ghosts, shrimp sabotage, light identity theft, and even accidental dog adoption. But will any of June and Greta’s plans succeed? And by the end of the summer…will they want them to?
