Content: G 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

12yo Samantha has headed to Florida with her crafting company mom to convince Gram that she would be better off moving back to live near them. Gram has other ideas, however. When Mom has to go home suddenly for business, Gram and Samantha join Gram’s best friend and her grandson, Brandon (very cute), take off on a road trip through Florida in Gram’s turquoise Mustang, with the goal to earn a spot in a karaoke competition at the county fair. 

A quick, fun, funky read full of laughs and impossible, embarrassing situations. Gram really has it going on and her love for life finally penetrates into Samantha’s anxiety.
