Callie, a teenaged girl who plays in a rock band, has her life turned upside down when her father goes missing. In addition to school and band practice, her days are spent trying to comfort her distraught mother, enlisting her friends to hang up posters, and reliving past conversations she had with her dad. But no leads turn up until Callie sees a photo of the great San Francisco earthquake and recognizes a familiar face.

This young adult novel will appeal to readers who enjoy relationships (parent / child, friend / friend, and a tiny bit of romance), and mystery. It’s an engaging story that is hard to put down.
