Description

Kirby 'Zig' Zigonski, a tech-savvy boy, lives for electronics but struggles with the unpredictability of people, especially his absent father. When his father cancels a visit without explanation and his mom seems secretive, Zig, with help from his best friend Gianna and a garage sale GPS unit, embarks on a quest to find his dad. Believing his father is leaving clues around town, Zig follows the coordinates, discovering along the way that people aren't always what they seem and that there can be multiple definitions of home. Kate Messner's novel is a touching story of family and friendship during challenging times.
