An illustrated MG novel about finding your community and putting down roots.
🛹
Lindy hates living on a bus. Her mom is a full time social media influencer and her dad is on sabbatical making it easy for them to live a nomadic life creating content. Lindy isn’t a fan and hasn’t been for a while. She has no friends, she’s failing fifth grade and wants her parents to see her as more of a content booster. When their bus breaks down in San Jose, Lindy gets to see what it would be like if she lived in one place, making friends and finding a new hobby like skateboarding, but when it’s time to pull up stakes again, what will she do to stay put?

This was a super quick read, great on audiobook that really shows the other side of living in an influencer household. It also shows just how much kids crave consistency in their upbringing. We need more books about skateboarding (as well as volleyball, softball, etc.) This book is out now by @drawbrie
CW: emotional abandonment
I wanted Lindy to be a bit older and the book read older too, but it’s on par with DoaWK fans.
