I loved this book! Specifically, I enjoyed the relationship between Grams and Freddie and felt for him when she passed away. Mom passed away years ago, so dad and Grams was all that was left of family for Freddie. Freddie is trying to occupy his mind and begin searching online. He finds a fact about mothers that he did not know previously: "Babies' DNA has been found knitted into their mother's brain, bone, and heart tissue" (p.18). This fact only makes Freddie feel worse about losing mom and Grams, especially when he finds out who his real dad is... Freddie needs to find him! He knows his biological father is only his father through DNA, but he needs to know him.

Freddie and his friends decide to sneak out on this awesome adventure to find his dad in Wales. The boys have a wonderful time and I loved the way Pearson wrote of the boys' hijinks along the way! So entertaining and will be awesome for middle graders! The ending was quite wonderful and not exactly expected! You must read to see what happens!!

I was given a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. Enjoy! ( )
