Jane Brannen wants nothing more than to become a famous author like Jane Austen-she just needs to figure out the key to literary success! Her chance to uncover the secret arrives when bestselling author J. E. Fairfax visits her tiny town of Whickett Harbor. Unfortunately, a hurricane rolls in and Jane gets stuck with the author's snobbish son, Devon, instead. But when the skies clear, Jane realizes the wind has blown in something worse than annoying boys: Her mother, Susan, and Susan's new fiancé, Erik, have flown all the way from Hollywood to file for custody and bring Jane back to California. Now she needs to find a mate for her marine biologist father and figure out what's truly important about Whickett Harbor, so she can prove to her mother that this is where she's meant to stay.
Story Locale: Whickett Harbor, Maine (small, coastal lobster town)

K. L. GOING is the award-winning author of multiple books for children and teens. She received a Michael Printz Honor for her teen novel, Fat Kid Rules the World, which was made into a feature film. Her beloved middle-grade novel, The Liberation of Gabriel King, was an IRA Notable Book for a Global Society, a CBC Children’s Choice, was nominated for eleven state awards, and is taught in classrooms around the world. Her books have been Booksense picks, Scholastic Book Club choices, Junior Library Guild selections, and have been published worldwide. She currently writes and teaches Language Arts and writing to seventh and eighth graders at a Montessori school, and lives in New York with her family.
Upbeat romp touching on themes of divorce, parents dating, and custody: Smart, funny Jane plays matchmaker for her dad with surprising results, and finally makes peace with her estranged mom (and her mom's new fiancé).
The only writing tip you'll ever need: Jane actually learns the secret to all good writing-the holy grail for any serious writer (young and old) and the perfect inspiration for even the most reluctant writers.
Light look at science and the environment: Jane gains new appreciation for climate change and her father's oceanic research on plankton in Maine. Did you know plankton produces half the world's oxygen?
Award-winning author inspired by Jane Austen: A new direction for K. L. Going, best known for her Printz Honor-winning Fat Kid Rules the World (105M) and The Liberation of Gabriel King (a classroom favorite) (116M), inspired as much by her students' interest in writing and ecology as her love for Jane Austen.
