SHIFT

In spite of her good friends at school, Cat Pauley is lonely, missing her easygoing dad after her driven mother kicks him out. Her sister is too busy to be an ally—and takes Mom’s side in the split anyway. When Mom presses her to shift gears and perfect her high school resume, Cat tries to escape to live with Dad. Roadblocks force her to take a clear look at both of her parents, but with inspiration from Thoreau’s Walden, Cat may be ready to chase the life she wants.
