Bee's mom, Bernadette, is a brilliant ex-architect who hates Seattle (where they live) and also dislikes people. So Bernadette hires a virtual assistant from India to take care of various tasks for her, including planning a family trip to Antarctica as a reward for Bee's excellent marks in 8th grade.
Right before the Antarctica trip, Bernadette disappears, and Bee is left to figure out what happened.
This is a very delightful, clever, and engaging read and one of my favorites this year.
