Official synopsis Publisher
Flying home from his beloved island home of O’ahu to Seattle, Max is confused and conflicted about where he’s headed and why. Talking about his feelings seems like an uncomfortable prospect, so he intends to just make it through the minimal two-week stay, then retreat to his comfort zone. As it turns out, two weeks is more than enough to change your life forever.
Sarah works hard to coordinate her older brother’s first-time visit, and she is elated to finally meet him. Now that he’s here, though, Sarah’s summer plans are being derailed. Maxie seems anxious to leave–he’s brooding in his room and even fighting with other boys in the neighborhood! Sarah is desperate for a plan to keep Maxie safe and happy so she’ll have a chance at the sibling relationship she always dreamed of. She receives help from an unlikely source–Athena, Goddess of War and Wisdom. It appears Athena faces challenges with a brother of her own and, as a team, they may be able to foster some peace.
