(Book)

Gideon hates the idea of moving to Nevada from the East Coast. . It's so empty and hot in his new neighborhood. Only one person his age lives nearby: the girl next door, Roona. Gid notices right away that Roona is ...different. She wears roller skates and a blanket as a cape when she needs to feel strong. what he doesn't bargain for, however, is how far outside his comfort zone Roona will take him, as she enlists his help in finding her long-gone father. For a kid who's no allowed to ride his bike more than a few blocks form home, this will be the adventure of a lifetime.
