Catherine Clark’s Wish you Were Here is the perfect book for anyone who has ever been forced to go on a family vacation when they would rather be doing almost anything else!
Ariel did not expect to spend her summer with her family traveling the country on a bus. But then again, she didn’t expect a lot of things, like when her father drained the family’s bank account because he was addicted to gambling or when she opened the door to reports and could only utter “no comment”. Now, stuck on a bus with her family for what seems like forever, she has no way to communicate with anyone except through postcards.
As Ariel deals with missing her sort-of-boyfriend and tries to get along with her family she unexpectedly meets a friend. As the two of them struggle to survive the trip Ariel starts to learn a lot about herself and even more about her family, a lot of which surprises her. Will she be able to finally start getting along with her family? You’ll have to check it out to find out!
