A spring break caught between home and family

In this graphic novel, Olive spends spring break at her father’s new city apartment while her sibling Goober looks forward to a week together. Olive is still hurt by her father’s move far away, and her attention keeps returning to friends and vacation plans back home. The visit brings loneliness and resentment into a week that might otherwise be about reconnecting. The story connects the fear of missing out with the possibility of a second chance, framing family time as something Olive must reckon with rather than simply enjoy.

Book overview

Kayla Miller, the New York Times bestselling author-illustrator of Click, Camp, Act, Clash, and Crunch and coauthor of Besties, returns with a new Olive story! Olive is less-than-excited to be spending spring break stuck with her dad...will she be able to make the most of her trip, or will everything break apart?

Spring break is full of possibilities...but not for Olive.

This year, Olive is leaving her friends and all of their exciting vacation plans behind to visit her dad at his new apartment in the city.

Goober is thrilled to spend a whole week with their father and has a long list of activities for their time together. Olive, on the other hand, still remembers the hurt of their dad moving halfway across the world. She would rather spend time with her friend Bree or scrolling through her new phone to keep up with everything she's missing back home than catch up with him.

As the week winds on, the normally easygoing Olive finds feelings of loneliness and resentment throwing her out of whack. Is there any hope of salvaging the visit--or will Olive's spring break be a spring bust?

New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Kayla Miller returns with another vibrant and emotional story about the power of second chances and how the fear of missing out can lead to missing out on what's right in front of you.
