SynopsisJosie's absentminded parents lose everything. It takes a wooden swing and a magic tree for Josie to discover nothing is lost forever., Josie's parents lose everything - from stuff they've borrowed to their dog. Even worse, they lose track of the time they promised to spend with Josie. But a swing, a special tree, and some wacky magic help Josie see that nothing is lost forever. "Engaging fantasy." - Kirkus Reviews "[S]olves a compelling real-world predicament with a truly fantastic plot twist. Cepeda's art is vibrant and engaging." - School Library Journal, A lantern, a mixing bowl, everything they ever borrowed from the neighbors, even their dog Leopoldo -- Josey's absentminded parents lose EVERYTHING. Sometimes they even lose track of time when they promise to do something fun with Josey. But then, with a big, rusty CLANK, a missing lantern falls out of the backyard tree, and suddenly Josey sees a way to solve her family's problems. It's going to take a lot of help, a little magic and a turbo-powered swing, but Josey might just have a shot at bringing the neighborhood -- and her family -- back together again.
