A heartwarming novel about a loving dad who drags his eleven-year-old daughter to �father-daughter week� at a remote summer camp�their last chance to bond before he loses her to teenage girlhood entirely. After his daughter, Avery, was born, John gave it all up�hobbies, friends, a dream job�to be something more: a super dad. Since then, he�s spent nearly every waking second with Avery, who�s his absolute best bud. Or, at least, she was. When now eleven-year-old Avery begins transforming into an eye-rolling zombie of a preteen who dreads spending time with him, a desperate John whisks her away for a weeklong father-daughter retreat to get their relationship back on track before she starts middle school. But John�s attempts to bond only seem to drive his daughter further away, and his instincts tell him Avery�s hiding something more than just preteen angst. Even worse, the camp is far from the idyllic getaway he had in mind. John finds himself navigating a group of toxic dads that can�t seem to get along, cringe-worthy forced bonding activities, and a camp director that has it out for him. With camp and summer break slipping away fast, John�s determined to conquer it all for a chance to become Avery�s hero again. This brilliant and deeply funny father-daughter story is perfect for fans of poignant and hilarious books like The Guncle by Steven Rowley, Steve Martin�s family classic Cheaper by the Dozen, and Judd Apatow�s bighearted comedies.
