For four long months, ten-year-old Cass has been dreaming of the day her mom, Toodi, will come home. But when Toodi’s welcome back party takes a turn for the disastrous, Cass finds herself stuck alone with her dull-as-dirt dad, who insists that they set off for the summer on a mysterious adventurejust the two of them.
It turns out Cass’s dad has some big-time surprises up his sleeve. Once they hit the road in an old RV named The Roast, he introduces her to the amazing power of “Sway,” a seemingly magical force that can bring inspiration and joy to people in major need of help.
Cass can think of one particular person who could really use some Sway. If only she could track down Toodi, Cass knows she could convince her mom to come home. But with the help of a little home-spun magic, Cass realizes that the things she needs most have always been within her reach.

Cass completely idolizes her mom, Toodi Bleu (she basically thinks her mom is the best thing since sliced bread). Toodi Bleu volunteers for a rescue squad, so she's never home for very long. Cass dreams of being just like her mom. Cass's dad, Douglas, is fine, but not as cool. But when Toodi Bleu abandons Cass and Douglas, Cass is completely heartbroken, and blames her dad. So Douglas takes Cass on a road trip in an old RV called The Roast, in hope that they can bond. What I thought of it: Honestly, I wanted to love this book because I thought the plot was great. But the way it was written kept me from really liking it. I liked Cass, but she could be annoying and jerky at times especially when it came to her mom. I liked Douglas, and I felt bad for him when Cass blamed him for Toodi Bleu's absence. I liked Cass's cousin Syd too, and I wish he was in more of the book. Overall it was an ok book.
This book is great for people who are missing their moms. When her uninteresting dad takes her on an exciting road trip, Cass discovers the power of Sway that helps people when they need it most. She then tries to use it to make her mother come home.

She decides she wants to use this power to make her mom come back home... read it to find what happens next.
This book is great! It's about a girl, who really wants her mother back, but then for the summer her dad thinks they should go on a trip--just the 2 of them. On the way, her father introduces her to the power of SWAY. Read this book and find adventure, mystery, and lifelong expieriences.

It's the best book ever !! It was sort of sad at times especially because Cass really looked up to her mom. But in the end Dad was the cheese.All in all it was a really good book and sometimes it was real funny so you SHOULD READ IT!!!!!!
I loved this book. It was fun to read about Cass and her dad and their road trip. I want to go on a road trip now.
