Natasha Deen

Guppie Persaud wants to become a hero, though she usually thinks of herself as intensely shy. When her father receives a yearlong teacher-exchange placement, her family leaves Calgary for New York City. Guppie and her brothers secretly plan to enter an online photography contest in hopes of winning phones and overturning their parents’ rule. Their three-week road trip brings a hot van, no phones, and plenty of time together.
