"Pure whimsical delight. Magic *does* blow throughout the world, and ZIP proves it!"-- New York Times bestelling author Lauren Myracle
one girl + one scooter = journey of a lifetime
When Lyssa's mother died, so did the magic--that special something that always made the sunflowers grow taller and the strawberry jelly taste sweeter. So when Lyssa receives the alarming news that her childhood home in Texas is about to be bulldozed, she sets off on a two-wheeled cross country journey to save her family home--and with it, the last remaining sparkle of her earlier life. On her odyssey, Lyssa meets some decidedly unusual people--from rowdy cowgirls to a chorus line of singing mermaids--and discovers adventure at every highway turn. But it's the magic that she uncovers, little by little, along the way that will ultimately put a new zip in her step!
"A girl discovers adventure at every highway turn. After Lyssa's mother dies, her kind but clueless new stepfather moves with her to the suburbs of Seattle in the hopes of making a fresh start. But Lyssa feels lost and adrift in the rainy Northwest without her mom. And when she finds out that her old house in Texas is about to be bulldozed, something snaps inside her. Fiercely determined, Lyssa climbs onto her scooter and sets off cross-country to save her home-- Provided by publisher.
"A young girl goes on a cross-country adventure with her scooter only to discover the true meaning of home"-- Provided by publisher.
