Dream Weaver

Twelve-year-old Zoey has grown up trailing her father from one scheme to the next, from fledgling start-ups to selling motorcycles. She goes along with each new plan, though the constant moving has meant never staying anywhere long enough to make lasting friends. Being together as a family is what matters most to her.

When her father takes a job in New York City and leaves her behind, Zoey and her older brother, José, are sent to live with Poppy at the Jersey Shore. Still grieving her mami, Zoey feels adrift, but her attention soon turns to Poppy's bowling alley, which he has run for decades and which may be forced to close. She befriends a group of kids training for a summer bowling tournament and comes up with a scheme of her own to save the place.

The plan goes badly wrong, leaving Zoey's new friends depending on her and her family's happiness hanging in the balance. She must work out what she truly wants and how far she is willing to go to get it.
