The Swing — Joe Cepeda

A rare book about finding the most important thing we all lose: time with those we love.

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.
