About The Book
Perfect for readers of The Penderwicks, Luna Merriweather is no ordinary eleven-year-old. She’s a dog defender, a fearless photographer, and a loyal friend—uncovering secrets and surprises in a summer that teaches her the most important truths are the ones we never see coming.
Luna Merriweather considered herself lucky when she picked the winning lottery numbers. Little did she know then that being lucky isn’t always a good thing—especially when her family decides to move to the city with her lottery winnings. After leaving her friends behind, adjusting to a new place and way of life, and feeling disconnected from everything she’s ever known, Luna’s only chance for a fun summer is the week she’ll spend taking photographs for the local newspaper.
As Luna explores the city through her camera lens, she discovers hidden corners, unexpected friendships, and stories waiting to be told, she begins to see that sometimes, what feels like the end of everything familiar can be the beginning of something extraordinary.
