Tessa has always been anxious, but it's become worse since her mother died a few months ago. To calm herself down, she cuts out photos of missing kids from milk cartons and keeps them in a file. It helps her feel like she's not alone. Her friends are drifting away. Then, worst of all, Tessa's dad suddenly announces that he's getting married - and that his fiance is pregnant. His fiance's parents gift them a house at the beach, and Tessa must move. As Tessa navigates new friendships with a group of misfit boys and a new stepmother, she realises she must let go of old friends and old habits if she wants to regain control of her life.

In this middle-grade novel a girl loses her mom, and her dad remarries quickly, so she must rebuild her life and friendships.
