Its summer time and Julie and Lydia are going on a road trip! After all the ups and downs of their first year in junior high, they're looking forward to seeing the sights and getting some new perspective on their quest for popularity. Planned visits include their friend Sukie, Julie's grandparents and Lydia's dad. At first they use their Powers of Observation to make sense of the new locations, but then things start to go a little funny with parents all across the nation. This may not be the triumphant trip they were hoping for, but it is still infused with the humour, heart and truthfulness that Amy Ignatow is known for.
