Claire used to love her dad’s fantastical stories, especially tales about her absent mom.  But now that she’s twelve, Claire thinks she’s old enough to know the truth.  When her dad sells the house and moves her and her brother into a converted van, she’s tired of the tall tales and refuses to pretend it’s all some grand adventure.  Claire is faced with a choice.  Will she play along with the stories her dad is spinning for her little brother, or will she force her family to face reality once and for all?
