Synopsis: Key Selling Points A teen learns that she has a biological father who isn’t the dad she grew up with and that her mom has kept this secret Jen's whole life. This story explores family dynamics as well as themes of identity and belonging. The author has written a number of short novels for striving readers, including these hi-lo books in the Orca Currents line: Iggy’s World and Bigfoot Crossing , both JLG Gold Standard Selections, and The Ride Home , which was shortlisted for a BC and Yukon Book Prize. Although her own story is different, the author drew from personal experience, as she too grew up with one dad, only to discover as a teen that she also had a biological father who wasn't the dad she grew up with. She and her birth dad both loved to sing. Enhanced features (dyslexia-friendly font, cream paper, larger trim size) to increase reading accessibility for dyslexic and other striving readers.
