Synopsis

A moving tale of family, friendship, and finding your own voice

Sunny Beringer hates her first name—her real first name—Sunflower. And she hates that her mom has suddenly left behind her dad, Scott, and uprooted their family from New Jersey to North Carolina just so she can pursue some fancy
degree. Sunny has to live with a grandmother she barely knows, and she’s had to leave her beloved cat and all her friends behind. And no one else seems to think anything is wrong.

So she creates “Sunny’s Super-Stupendous Plan to Get Mom and Dad Back Together”—a list of surefire ways to make her mom and Scott fall madly in love again. But while working on a photo album guaranteed to make Mom change her
mind and rush them right back home, Sunny discovers a photo—one that changes everything.

Struggling with the complications of new friends, a precarious relationship with her grandmother, and now this enormous secret, it seems like everything in her world is imploding. Now she’ll have to reconcile her family’s past and present, or
she’ll lose everything about their future.
