The Adventures of Maddie Leon

– A Continental Shift –

    Maddie has a passion for fashion but her aspirations for the best summer ever and chance to attend art school are ruined when her parents accept a cultural anthropology assignment in Peru.

    Leaving Vancouver, Canada to live in Lima, Peru totally sucks! Then she meets Jojo Kofi Afram, another culturally transported kid, rescues her BFF from a life on the streets and discovers new ways to pursue her eco-fashion dreams.

    Life should be great – but it’s not! Her mom wants her to be ‘regular.’ She misses Jenna and Grandpa Leo to the stars and back, and now Tata Sylvie has the forgetting disease.

    Cultural differences, confusing friendships, trouble at school, and changing family dynamics are a lot for a 13-year-old to deal with.
