FAMILY WEEK

Sarah Moon's middle-grade audiobook evokes the joys of summer vacation and the growing pains of adolescence. Avi Roque portrays the four children of three LGBTQ+ families who rent a house together every summer during Provincetown's Family Week. But this year, not all is well: Avery's dads are getting divorced, Mac flunked seventh grade, and twins Lina and Milo are struggling with the fact that Milo will head off to a prestigious boarding school in the fall. Roque's narration isn't always the smoothest, but they believably convey the kids' anger, frustration, and hurt, as well as their hopes and excitement as they revisit favorite vacation traditions, try new things, learn to share their feelings, and ultimately strengthen their bonds with each other.
