When Tess runs away from her conscientious father to live with her freewheeling mother, the experience doesn't turn out the way she expects. Along the way, a stray cat befriends Tess, and the seventh grader learns a little more about love and responsibility. Although the writing style is flat, the story's themes will appeal to middle-grade readers.
