Synopsis: From the acclaimed author of Roll with It comes a relatable and &“heart-wrenching&” (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade novel about a girl who, in a desperate bid to keep her family afloat, takes over her mom&’s cleaning jobs after an injury prevents her from working. Now that Franny and her newly sober mom have moved to a cozy apartment above a laundromat, Franny&’s looking forward to a life where her biggest excitement is getting top grades in math class. But when Franny&’s mom gets injured in a car accident, their fragile life begins to crumble. There&’s no way her mom can keep her job cleaning houses, which means she can&’t pay the bills. Franny can&’t forget what happened the last time her mom was hurt: the pills that were supposed to help became an addiction, until rehab brought them to Mimi&’s laundromat and the support group she hosts. Franny will not let addiction win again, even if she has to blackmail a school rival to help her clean houses. She&’ll make the money and keep her mom sober—there&’s no other choice. But what happens if this is one problem she can&’t solve on her own?
