Ellie's mom left when she was a baby - she has never met her, never heard from her, and her dad refuses to talk about her. Then her dad does tell something - her mom is dead. Ellie is so angry and confused - now she will never have the chance to get to know her. What makes it worse is the discovery of a box of items that her mother supposedly sent - old 80s cassettes and items. With the help of her friends Ellie sets out to find out more about the mother she never knew.
This wasn't bad but it just didn't seem developed enough. There were some cute moments and it could lead to some interesting discussions. I can see this as a possibility for a middle grade student who isn't a great reader but wants a bit of drama.
