From two extraordinary authors comes a moving exuberant laugh-out-loud novel about friendship
and family told entirely in emails and letters. Avery Bloom who's bookish intense and
afraid of many things particularly deep water lives in New York City. Bett Devlin who's
fearless outgoing and loves all animals as well as the ocean lives in California. What they
have in common is that they are both twelve years old and are both being raised by single gay
dads. When their dads fall in love Bett and Avery are sent against their will to the same
sleepaway camp. Their dads hope that they will find common ground and become friends--and
possibly one day even sisters. But things soon go off the rails for the girls (and for their
dads too) and they find themselves on a summer adventure that neither of them could have
predicted. Now that they can't imagine life without each other will Bett and Avery (who
sometimes call themselves Night Owl and Dogfish) figure out a way to be a family?
