The Adventures of Maddie Leon

– A Continental Shift –

   Maddie’s plans for the best summer ever are shattered when her parents accept a cultural anthropology assignment in Peru. Leaving her friends, plans, and Vancouver to live in Lima totally sucks! 

     Then she meets Jojo Kofi Afram, another culturally transported kid, rescues Wynn from a life on the streets and discovers new ways to pursue her eco-fashion ambition. 

     Life should be great-but it’s not! Her mom wants her to be more ‘regular’. She misses Jenna and Grandpa Leo to the stars and back, and now Tata Sylvie is sick with the forgetting disease. Cultural differences, trouble at school and changing family dynamics are a lot for a teenager to deal with!
