The Greene Family Bed-and-Breakfast gets lots of visitors, but Frankie never forgets that she's missing something: a mother. She sets up a profile for her widower dad on Connection.com, but soon she's distracted with bigger problems, such as friendship dramas and dwindling revenue at the B&B. Even when Frankie doesn't display the best judgment, readers will appreciate her optimism, authentic emotions, and pure heart.

In the midst of a difficult year for her family, slam poet Molly begins to question her own behaviors--counting, excessive washing--and wonder if she might have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Swartz works clear explanations of OCD into a believable story of a preteen struggling with her mother's recent departure and with the ins and outs of middle-school friendship.
