(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Ivy's mama takes off for Florida with the Great Good Bible Church to "get right with God." When Ivy's classmate, aspiring astronaut Paul, suggests they go find her mama and see the space shuttle, the two take an improbable road trip. Ivy searches for resolutions that can incorporate her faith and Paul's scientific worldview; their strong bond is honest and moving.
