Oliver's parents are retiring from exploring, and Oliver is looking forward to living a life in one location and making friends. However, they haven't even spent one night in their new home when his parents set off to explore some islands before they and the islands disappear.

This is a transitional book from easy readers to chapter books, and it's a lot of fun. The illustrations are great, the story is fast moving, and the characters are fun and creative. In other words, it's perfect for the target 2-5 grade audience.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

"When I was moving to California with one of my best friends, Austin, we packed up everything in his car and we were driving out. Everything was just stuffed. We had a little Kia Sephia. We stuffed everything in the car, including the CDs. We couldn’t find the CDs anywhere, we couldn’t find his CDs and mine were all packed away—we couldn’t get to them. The only CD we had in the CD player was By The Way. We had that whole CD on repeat. It reminds me of leaving the safety of my parents' home to move to California where I was convinced I was going to be gang-raped. I had some seriously rape-able buttcheeks. 10 years later, they’re slightly less rape-able"
