Novel about a little girl named June Bug who travels across the country in an RV with her father. All is well until she sees a missing poster with her picture on it. The rest of the story centers on how June Bug gets home.

There was good in this story. The usual preachy quality of Christian fiction was refreshingly absent, though the gospel did shine through. The characters were memorable and the story was well written.

But, my credulity was strained to the point of snapping by the end. I really don't want to spoil the ending, but let me say this. Why, oh why, when a character is driven to the point of desperation to do something and he keeps up the lie for years and years does he suddenly just give up? I didn't get it at all.

The ridiculous twists and turns made me not like this book as much as I would have otherwise.
