It\u2019s his wildest dream come true, but his mother is <i>not<\/i> on board. From an ocean away, she\u2019s going to make the best year of his life into a living hell. But he has to survive it.

She\u2019s failing in class, proving to be terrible at the one thing she loves most in the world, and they\u2019ve made it very clear that not everyone gets to stay the full year. She\u2019s already lost more than any kid should have to, and she\u2019s struggling to hold on to the first thing she\u2019s cared about in a very long time.
