Katy's Dad, "the Rat", tries so hard to be a good dad and make up for lost time. Katy is a likeable character even when she's not being so likeable.
Although the issues are serious, it's a fun read. There are loads of issues but it doesn't feel overwhelming or preachy. There's a lot in this book and that summary doesn't even do it justice-father/daughter issues mother/daughter issues friendship self-esteem drugs. Two weeks turn into the whole summer as her mom gets more and more interested in the dig and Katy feels more and more left behind until she snaps and realizes she has a lot more in common with her musical father than she thought. The only person who can take care of Katy for those 2 weeks turns out to be the Dad she never knew. Katy lives in Canada with her mom and has had very little contact with her American rock star father until her mom needs to go on an archeology dig without her.
