## About this book

Maudie McGinn lives for the summers she spends in California with her dad, but this year, she's shouldering the weight of a big secret, one that her mom warned her never to tell. As much as Maudie wants to confide in her dad, she's scared to. As Maudie navigates unfamiliar waters, she makes new friends, and her autism no longer feels like a big deal. But her secret is still threatening to sink her.
