This is a read with tons of heart, which puts family, friends and dreams at the center and demonstrates that fighting for something is a magic all on its own.

Zoey has moved around. A lot. Her father constantly tries to achieve his latest dream, and while Zoey does find this neat, it's also take a toll on her and her older brother. While staying at Poppy's, she finally meets someone who might be a real friend, but there are other problems already mounting, especially on the financial end. Add her brother's up-coming college years and her father's latest dream chase, and her job to hold everyone together might just become impossible after all.

There are so many good things about this book. Zoey is, firstly, a girl with tons of energy and heart. Despite her difficult past (loss of mother and constant moves), she's got both feet on the ground, has a very good grip on people, and sees what needs to be done. But, of course, she makes mistakes. She's definitely a character to love and root for. Then, there's the setting of beaches and bowling, which already lure in. Zoey's family is golden, too. Each one has a loving personalities and their rough spots. They fight, and yet, keep the bonds...even though the one with the father is strained. It's a lovely mix and well done.

I'd place this one for upper middle graders more, thanks to some of the interactions and scenes. The book begins with Zoey starting her period, which I'm not a fan of, especially since it's presented a little overly dramatic (like so often lately in middle grade books) and just adds to girl's tensions unnecessarily. But that's just me. Also, I sometimes Zoey 's friends acted older than their age. But the book definitely stayed, otherwise, in the middle grade realm.

This is a lovely read for anyone who enjoys realistic moments, great settings, and a girl with heart and determination. There's a lot of warmth and family in these pages, and it definitely makes a lovely, summer read. I received an ARC from the publisher and loved the characters in this one. ( )

A classic: i'm-just-a-kid-who-happens-to-save-my-family-member's-deteriorating-buisness-but-did-I-mention-one-of-my-parents-is-dead-and-I-end-up-saving-the-day story
The characters were okay and the story was not unique at all. I think it was Home Sweet Hotel: Welcome to Wonderland by Chris Grabenstein was very, very, very similar and much better than this book in my opinion. Oh well, at least I tried it out and figured out what a waste of time it was.

Since her mother's death, Zoey's family has moved frequently as her father pursues one opportunity after another. Currently, they're staying with maternal grandfather Poppy. Zoey wishes for stability and friends and finds it at Poppy's decrepit bowling alley where she ends up becoming a member of a youth bowling team that is aiming for a summer championship. But Poppy seems to be giving up on his business and Zoey tries to find ways to save the alley. Zoey is a dreamer of sorts but far more practical; her determination to help Poppy is on a realistic kid orientation. ( )

A delightful novel about family, friendship and BOWLING! Yes, that’s right, bowling Zoey and her brother have been following their dad from place to place as he gives up on anything he tries. New she and Jose are living with the Cuban-American grandfather on the Jersey shore, as he tries to keep his bowling alley going. Through bowling, Zoey makes some good friends and helps her grandfather as well. ( )
