Ben Yokoyama is NOT moving to California, especially since it means giving up his best friend, Janet. Ben is devastated when Janet is not there to say goodbye to him, but it turns out she has stowed away in the family camper. The cross-country drive is filled with Janet and Ben scheming to stay together, as they try to figure out ways to make a fortune before they get to California and Janet will have to fly home.
This is the last book in this series. Though the cover and the format look fairly juvenile, the authors address complicated emotions and situations, but in a gentle and understanding manner. Ben's issues with moving, losing his friend, money issues, and his grandmother's health, and family stress are universal problems. This is a great way to wrap up the series, and fans will not be disappointed, as Ben rises to his challenges. Race or culture is not specified, but the last name suggests Ben may be of Asian descent.
