When FBI agents swarm twelve-year-old Mavis Callahan's downtown Chicago home, her mom goes on the run. With the family s 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."--
