11-year-old Lyssa’s life was perfectly magical…it was as sweet as the sunflowers at her back door or her mother’s strawberry jam.

 

 

Until one day it all came crashing down around her. Lyssa wakes up and her life has changed forever: She’s ripped from her home in Texas and her mother, once a super-talented performer, is gone—and so is all the magic.

 

Lyssa’s stepdad is super sweet, but he’s no replacement for Lyssa’s mother. In an attempt to help them start over again—totally fresh—he whisks Lyssa away to Washington state where she struggles to adjust to an ordinary life. School is a drag, it’s waaay too hard to make friends and, seriously, what’s up with the gloomy weather? Lyssa’s desperate for change…something, anything!

 

That change finally comes when a peculiar plane soars straight into Lyssa’s life. But it bears more bad news. Lyssa’s childhood home is scheduled to be demolished—along with all the amazing memories of her once-perfect family.

 

And with that, Lyssa is off! With no time to lose, she journeys hundreds of miles on just two wheels—her trusty scooter Zip. As she heads to Texas to fight for what seems like the only thing she cares about—what’s left of her home—Lyssa makes some funny friends (like rowdy cowgirls and a chorus line of singing mermaids). With her new-found friends by her side and the winds of change at her back, Lyssa uncovers her mother’s magic little by little while learning to accept change along the way.

 

Zip, zap and zoom with Lyssa as she races against the clock! CLICK HERE to snag your own copy of Zip by Ellie Rollins.
