Frances has the perfect summer planned, full of lazy days and camp with her best friend Agnes. Then her mother decides to go to Oregon for a relgious retreat for the whole summer. Eight weeks of Bible class and unpaid babysitting. What could be worse? Frances finds out when her mother drives away with her younger brother Everett, leaving Frances behind with her weird Aunt Blue. Now she is lonely and angry and nothing is going right. And Everett has just run away from Oregon.

This is about a preteen girl's adventures with her geeky aunt while her mom and kid brother run off to join a distant religious commune or cult. This is more in Schumaker's worst case scenario for kids, a rich yet underdeveloped vein in YA fiction, IMHO. I did not enjoy this as much as Black Box but I still want to read a lot more of her's.
