(3) 4-6 In 1968, eleven-year-old Julia and her aunt Constance leave town seeking Julia's wayward mother. Their wacky, hilarious adventures move from voodoo-influenced New Orleans to an abandoned ghost town (with a population of one, the self-proclaimed mayor/sheriff) to Haight-Ashbury to NYC. Plucky Julia documents everything with photographs (which illustrate this book) and gradually, happily puzzles out the true meaning of "home."
