ABOUT THE BOOK
Twelve-year-old BFFs are matchmaking geniuses. Sweet! Not long after they schemed to get Ginnie’s widowed dad to fall in love with Tillie’s divorced mom, Ginnie stumbled upon her late mom’s journals, making life even more awesome sauce … until her dad confiscated the journals, determined to protect Ginnie from a danger he won’t name.
Ginnie is counting on her future sister’s help to make Dad change his mind, but Tillie’s not so sure the ghost of Ginnie’s mom will make a good addition to their new family tree. The girls’ world gets flipped upside-down when a blast from the past shows up and makes Tillie go nutburgers.
Ginnie is torn between helping her best friend and what could be the answer to her deepest wish.

EXCERPT
At Young’s, Buzz ordered two extra-large plates of chili cheese fries to go along with their banana splits. Although more laid back than Dad, Buzz wasn’t quite as into ‘dessert for dinner’ as Uncle Jake. But he was approachable … and Dad wasn’t here.
After stabbing her spoon into her treat several times, Ginnie decided to quit slicing her bananas to pieces and ask what was on her mind. “Buzz, do you know Dad’s secret?”
He shrugged. “I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
Ginnie rolled her eyes. How could he not know?
“Mama’s journals? Daddy promised I could read them,” she hinted impatiently. “Do you know why he took them?”
Buzz shook his head. “I don’t remember any secrets, but I had just turned twelve a few days before Queenie died. However, I do remember that your mom made me feel better about losing my mom the year before. Then Queenie died. That was a rough year.”
Ginnie sliced the banana chunks with her spoon as she mulled over her cousin’s words.
A lump caught in her throat. Swallowing didn’t help.
