She and her 11-year-old sister, Melanie, are going to move to The Moon Shadow and take the place of Ally and her family as the caretakers of the campsite.

Bree is appalled at the thought of moving and doesn't want to be homeschooled in the middle of nowhere, with no boys, no friends and most of all no television.

After failing science class, he is faced with the choice of either attending summer school or going to The Moon Shadow as a part of a group tour to watch an eclipse with his teacher, Mr. Silver.

Bree and Ally plot to convince their parents to change their minds about the move, but they fail in their attempt.

Jack is smitten with Ally, even though they may not see each other again (but there is a good chance they will) and Bree is able to walk the labyrinth at the campsite, which she has been avoiding since she arrived.

The novel won the 2012 Middle School/Junior High California Young Reader Medal and the Homeschool Book Award.
