From Here to You

by Maile Silva

Johnny Santos and his mom need a new start...

...but their only option is to move to Crawford City and the house Johnny inherited from his deceased grandmother. It's the same house his dad grew up in--the dad he never knew.

But soon after they settle in, Johnny is devastated to discover that his mom's "new beginning" includes a new boyfriend, Mick, aka "the Worst." After so much loss already, Johnny can't risk losing his mom to Mick and that devilishly handsome smile.

So, Johnny and his new friends, Marigold and Brady, devise a plan to get Mick out of the picture (Project Ditch Mick), a plan that involves finding Johnny's long-lost father and putting this family back together again.

An impossible mission? Perhaps. But new friends, a magic box, and a newborn calf might just give Johnny a shot. That's how he finds himself on a journey down sidewalks, up highways, along oceans...and right to you.
