WHEN GALEN'S PARENTS SPLIT UP, HIS LIFE IS THROWN OFF-BALANCE.
Suddenly, he's living in two houses at once, his dad's weird girlfriend Jasmine is moving in, and he even has a sort-of stepsister! To make matters worse, his friend Kyle has suddenly become mysteriously mean.
To process these confusing emotions, Galen and his best friend Luna decide to make a documentary movie about his parents' divorce.
Can the reel life of filmmaking help Galen face his real life?
From debut author-illustrator Kane Lynch comes a nuanced and deeply empathetic story about the messy, awkward, and sometimes funny dilemmas that result from evolving families and friendships.
