“Mom’s house” or “Dad’s house.”\u00a0 Where’s “my house”?<\/p>\n

Bainbridge Kavin Cassidy, also known as Bay, is a sensitive eleven-year-old kid with divorced parents. Spending weekdays with Mom and weekends with Dad has left him feeling like he’s always visiting, and he depends on his stuffed tiger, Fritz, to catalog his life story so he doesn’t lose the details in transit.<\/p>\n

So who’s this girl Marz who’s been mysteriously taking his picture since they were seven?\u00a0 Does she see something special about him that she wants to keep for herself?\u00a0 Bay figures she’s always shooting him because he’s constantly getting caught doing weird things like giving roadkill animals a proper burial, but soon they discover they have more in common besides both having weird names.\u00a0 She soon begins to “share” her houseful of sisters with him, and he begins to learn more about how alternate families operate.<\/p>\n

But in his quest to find a place to belong, is Bay neglecting his own parents?\u00a0 Can he depend on Marz’s family the way he can on Mom and Dad, even in an emergency?\u00a0 Beanbag tiger Fritz doesn’t seem to have the answer to this one.<\/p>\n
