Delsie loves tracking the weather - lately, though, it seems the squalls are in her own life. She’s always lived with her kindhearted Grammy, but now she’s looking at their life with new eyes and wishing she could have a “regular family.” Delsie observes other changes in the air, too - the most painful being a friend who’s outgrown her. Luckily, she has neighbours with strong shoulders to support her, and Ronan, a new friend who is caring and courageous but also troubled by the losses he’s endured. As Ronan and Delsie traipse around Cape Cod on their adventures, they both learn what it means to be angry versus sad, broken versus whole, and abandoned versus loved. And that, together, they can weather any storm.

Oliver’s brain is a volcano of ideas - always bubbling with questions. This makes it hard to focus at school, and sometimes he worries he won’t ever fit in there.

Featuring characters from the New York Times bestselling novel Fish in a Tree and artwork showcasing all the wonderful things going on in Oliver’s astonishing brain, this uplifting book celebrates out-of-thebox thinking, the power of creativity, and the importance of being proud of the things that set us apart.
