With the familys house and bank accounts seized, Mavis's dad takes her and her siblings to seek refuge with his sister just south of rural Somewhere, Illinois--a far cry from the big city lifestyle Mavis is used to. As Mavis grapples with her sudden turn in fortune, she learns to make new friends and starts a babysitting business to bring in some much-needed cash for the family. But she can't help but wonder--is her mom truly guilty? And if not, why has she gone into hiding, contacting Mavis only through a series of postcards from exotic locales? Mavis isn't sure if she s ready for the truth, but she'll do anything to find it."-- From publisher's description. 4-7. 20250227. Secrecy Juvenile fiction. Life changing events Juvenile fiction.
