Brady Mason couldn't care less about celebrity gossip or fashion. What do those have to do with her life as an orphan in a group home in New Jersey? She likes what she knows: baseball, comfortable clothes, pork roll with cheese, and Cory, who makes her feel fluttery things in her stomach. Then Brady's housemates notice that she looks strangely like Elena Lavigne -- the imperious editor-in-chief of Vivacite magazine, able to make or break fashion trends with a glance -- and they decide to put it out on social media that Brady, of all people, is Elena's long-lost daughter. They'll make a few Tiktoks, the Internet will go wild, maybe they'll get some free stuff, and that will be the end of it.

But then lawyers arrive with a DNA test.

It turns out Brady, of all people, IS Elena's long-lost daughter.

And now Elena is summoning her to Manhattan to try living with her.

When Brady arrives on the Upper East Side, it's like being in a movie, complete with a limo, a fancy new house, all the sneakers she wants, and a new (cute) friend who teaches her the rules of soccer. The biggest challenge? Elena, whose high-fashion instincts clash with Brady's tomboy antics, and who doesn't know how to be a mother any more than Brady knows how to be a daughter. But the more Brady gets to know Elena, the more she sees what they have in common, and she starts to wonder . . . if they're both searching for a family, could the two of them be the right fit?

Nicole Melleby, a New Jersey native, is the author of highly praised middle-grade books, including the Lambda Literary finalist Hurricane Season, ALA Notable book How to Become a Planet, Camp QUILTBAG (co-written with A. J. Sass), and The House on Sunrise Lagoon series. She's also the author of Sunny and Oswaldo, her debut picture book. She lives with her wife and their cats, whose need for attention oddly aligns with Nicole's writing schedule. Visit her online at nicolemelleby.com.
