Synopsis:
Emily is ready to have the summer of her life with her best friend Sloane. The only problem is, Sloane just dissapears along with her parents. With no clue where her best friend is, Emily is desperate to find her. And one day, there's mail for her. And it's from Sloane. Unfortunately it doesn't explain her dissaperance, it's just a list of things that Emily has to do.

My thoughts: This book was so fantastic. I can't begin to explain how this book touched me. I related to Emily so much because we are so alike. This book grew into me so much, I actually made a list myself. I'm telling you, this book is fantastic. This book is to the top. It's one of my favorite of the year for sure.

My rating: 5/ 5 stars
Sad parts: Not much
Funny part:yes
Action: Kind of
Who should read that book: Everyone should read it.

About the author: 
Morgan Matson grew up in New York City and Greenwich, Connecticut. She attended Occidental College in Los Angeles but halfway though a theater degree, she started working in the children's department of Vroman's Bookstore and fell in love with YA literature. Following college graduation (and the proud bearer of an incredibly useful theater/English degree) she moved back East to attend the New School, where she received her M.F.A in Writing for Children. Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, inspired by Morgan's three cross-country road trips, was published in May 2010. It was named an ALA Top Ten Best Book, a PW "Flying Start" book, and was shortlisted for the Waterstone's Book Prize.
