Heidi Lang's novel Wrong Way Summer is a moving summer road-trip story for fans of Crenshaw and The Someday Birds.

A Junior Library Guild Selection

Claire used to love her dad's fantastical stories, especially tales about her absent mom--who could be off with the circus or stolen by the troll king, depending on the day. But now that she's 12, Claire thinks she's old enough to know the truth.

When her dad sells the house and moves her and her brother into a converted van, she's tired of the tall tales and refuses to pretend it's all some grand adventure, despite how enthusiastically her little brother embraces this newest fantasy. Claire is faced with a choice: Will she play along with the stories her dad is spinning for her little brother, or will she force her family to face reality once and for all?

Equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking, Wrong Way Summer is a road-trip journey and coming-of-age story about one girl's struggle to understand when a lie is really a lie and when it's something more: hope.

"This is a sweet story about family, truth, protection, friendship, and first crushes . . . Not only does the author construct a story that draws the reader in, she also provides a love and understanding of the art of storytelling." --School Library Connection

Heidi Lang

Heidi Lang moved to the west coast to pursue her love of judo, but eventually found a new passion: dogs. She started a dog walking company in Santa Cruz and has been happily patrolling the trails with her pack ever since.

If she's not hiking with her pack, she's probably writing or deep into a good book. But no matter where she is, she's almost certainly covered in dog fur.

She is the co-author of the forthcoming MG fantasies A DASH OF DRAGON (Aladdin, July 2017) and A HINT OF HYDRA (Aladdin, Summer 2018), and the author of an as-yet-untitled YA SF (Razorbill, Fall 2018).
