(2) 4-6 Before Kobi's parents disappeared during a sailing trip, Kobi's mother gave her twenty-seven Post-it notes bearing magic words. Five years later, Kobi is consumed with using the words--most importantly, Avanti!, which lets her see her parents living on an island. A big revelation shifts the story from fanciful to realistic, making it clear this quiet novel is a study in dealing with grief.
