This book is about a girl named Tess, her brother and her ma. Tess and her family are living in warm Texas, when suddenly her mom wants to move to freezing Schenectady, NY. Tess thinks her ma is finally going crazy after she tells Tess that she is going to open a ice cream shop in the middle of winter! In New York! Tess knows that they already have money problems in Texas and they might run out of money in New York. Her little brother is deaf and her mom has bipolar disease, so she has to help her family with everything. When her mom has a break down on the shop's opening day, Tess has to come to the rescue. Can she fix all the problems that Schenectady has given her?
I loved this book. It was very sad but then happy at times. I felt so bad for Tess. Her family didn't have a lot of money and sometimes she felt like she was the mother of her family. She had to go through a lot. This book had a lot of detail when it talked about what the ice cream shop looked like. I wish I was there! I couldn't put this book down because I always wanted to find out what would happen next. The mom in this book had a lot of problems and didn't know how to deal with them, which was sad. Tess's brother was deaf and Tess was always trying to make him happy. She was a great sister. I have nothing to complain about with this book. You should really read this! Tell me what you think!
