Summary
Missy Turner’s son has gone to summer camp for six weeks, leaving behind an empty house—and a mother who realizes her only child will soon leave home. Missy heads for work, only to learn that the hardware store is closing and she’s out of a job. Naturally upset, she returns home—and walks in on her husband Dale making out with their next-door neighbor. Shocked, Missy heads to the café in town. Her day turns from bad to worse when, moments later, she finds herself being held at gunpoint—even if it is by a sexy Jude Law lookalike who smells like wood chips and soap. but the robbery goes wrong, and the police show up. Right there, Missy makes a choice. Her son is growing up. Her husband is a beer-bellied cheater in sweatpants. Maybe her sister is right: maybe she does need some adventure in her life. Missy helps the thug escape and eventually agrees to join him on a road trip to New York. Enthralled by her sudden freedom—and uncharacteristic badness—Missy camps out with her renegade outlaw in a tawdry motel. She buys his stories about how he’s really not a criminal, just a guy who’s been dealt a bad hand. but hours later, the guy pulls a gun on yet another cashier—and Missy finally connects the dots. Missy and her husband spend the summer apart. but her dangerous fling with the gunman has helped her see what matters most—and where she needs to make changes. As the summer draws to an end, Missy and Dale are back together, preparing to welcome their son home. There is a good chance they will work things out.

“ Soundings…use simple vocabulary and short sentences combined with lots of authentic dialogue and engrossing subject matter, making them ideal for high-interest, low-reading-level collections. The authors are not afraid of controversial language or material, which is in large part the secret of the series’ appeal. Open endings lend to discussion and further exploration. These little novels with their colorful covers are sure to be a hit.” —VOYA

“These short, well-constructed books written by best-selling, award-winning authors are a gold mine for reluctant readers in middle school. It’ s not simply the short chapters and intelligently controlled vocabulary. The value of these books is the text’s absence of condescension and the authors’ inclusion of current vernacular phrases that don’t sound contrived. The stories—contemporary in tone and situation—engage the reader from the get-go and maintain their credibility.”
