[Al 04] • Al

**An exciting summer with Al’s father awaits—but when her mom gets sick, Al has to decide what’s most important**

Al can’t wait to visit her father’s family for an entire month. They’ve promised her homemade ice cream and a barn dance that even the boy she likes is coming to! Nothing can stop her from having the best summer of her life—that is, if she can quit worrying about leaving her mother, who hasn’t been feeling well for weeks. Al wants to be a good daughter to both parents, but who will take care of her mother while she’s gone?

Life is about to get a little complicated, but deep down, Al knows what she has to do.
