About
From the author of the acclaimed My Life in the Fish Tank and Maybe He Just Likes You comes a moving and relatable middle grade novel about secrets, family, and the power of forgiveness.
For seventh grader Wren, life is suddenly full of big changes: her parents' divorce and Dad's remarriage, her move with Mom to a new town. So she distracts herself with a new obsession: watching special effects makeup videos by internet sensation Cat FX. Of all the fantasy characters Cat FX re-creates, Wren's favorite is the mermaid, but somehow she can't duplicate Cat FX's technique. Is something missing?
For seventh grader Wren, life is suddenly full of big changes: her parents' divorce and Dad's remarriage, her move with Mom to a new town. So she distracts herself with a new obsession: watching special effects makeup videos by internet sensation Cat FX. Of all the fantasy characters Cat FX re-creates, Wren's favorite is the mermaid, but somehow she can't duplicate Cat FX's technique. Is something missing?
When Mom insists Wren pull herself away from her laptop, Wren agrees to do makeup for the middle school production of the musical Wicked. Soon she's so involved with the show, her new friendship with Poppy, and dealing with Kai's crush that she isn't focused on Mom's disappearances. Or the weird lock on Mom's bedroom door. Or the number of pill bottles in Mom's medicine cabinet.
But when Wren can't ignore Mom's behavior any longer, she sets out to find Cat FX. Will Cat FX reveal the secret of the mermaid—and possibly something about real life?
