Finding Orion

Rion Kwirk comes from an unusual family, with each member having their own quirks. His father makes funky-flavored jelly beans, one sister acts like she's always onstage, and the other is a walking dictionary. However, no one is more odd than Rion's grandfather, Papa Kwirk, who's mysterious and adventurous, in stark contrast to Rion's predictable father. The story unfolds as Rion's family attends Papa Kwirk's funeral, and Rion suspects there is more to his grandfather's story than meets the eye. The acclaimed author of 'Ms. Bixby’s Last Day' and 'Posted' returns with an unforgettable tale of love and laughter, of fathers and sons, of what family truly means, and of the ways in which we sometimes need to lose something in order to find ourselves.
