THANKS FOR RUINING MY LIFE!
Delaney’s eighth-grade dreams crumble when her parents announce their global family field trip. While her younger sister, Riley, is thrilled to ditch middle school for world school, Delaney cringes at trading parties and friends for a passport and 24/7 family time.
While Riley researches bungee jumping and packing tips, Delaney must decide whether to continue the silent treatment or embrace this adventure.
What about school? Forget science and math, the only way to pass this class is to survive:
scam artists
monster cockroaches
deadly stingers projectile vomiting
public nudity
toilet catastrophes
…and those lessons aren’t in their textbooks. Each passport stamp is a real-life social studies lesson in new religions and new rules—resulting in sooo many awkward moments. But when an itinerary mistake puts the family’s freedom at risk, they learn the most valuable lesson of their lives.
Trapped together in their parents’ mid-life crisis, will the sisters survive this global adventure? And will non-stop family time turn them into friends? Or enemies?
