About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the heavy burden of academic perfectionism or feeling lost in the transition of a changing family structure. It is a vibrant story about Audre, a high-achieving student whose summer plans fall apart, leading her to hire a 'fun consultant' named Bash to help her step out of her comfort zone. Through their adventures, the story explores themes of self-discovery, the importance of play, and navigating life in a blended family.
