Bee's mother ran away. Through a series of emails, letters, reports, and other miscellanea, 8th grader Bee pieces together why Bernadette ran, and where she might be.

I read this to get inspired for my library's first ever Book to Art Club, and I am happy I finally checked this one off my back list. I had a blast reading this darkly humorous novel about one woman's complete unwillingness to behave or do anything she doesn't want to do. I found Bernadette's character to be oddly compelling, despite her darker tendencies. Tons of fun, and I'm going to look forward to leading our discussion and make handmade post cards.

BTW - Bernadette is a great name (I have one, my daughter).
