When twelve-year-old Zinnia Manning\u2019s older brother Gabriel is diagnosed with a mental illness, the family\u2019s world is turned upside down. Mom and Dad want Zinny, her sixteen-year-old sister, Scarlett, and her eight-year-old brother, Aiden, to keep Gabriel\u2019s condition \u201cprivate\u201d\u2014and to Zinny that sounds the same as \u201csecret.\u201d Which means she can\u2019t talk about it to her two best friends, who don\u2019t understand why Zinny keeps pushing them away, turning everything into a joke.
\nIt also means she can\u2019t talk about it during Lunch Club, a group run by the school guidance counselor. How did Zinny get stuck in this weird club, anyway? She certainly doesn\u2019t have anything in common with these kids\u2014and even if she did, she\u2019d never betray her family\u2019s secret.
\nThe only good thing about school is science class, where cool teacher Ms. Molina has them doing experiments on crayfish. And when Zinny has the chance to attend a dream marine biology camp for the summer, she doesn\u2019t know what to do. How can Zinny move forward when Gabriel\u2014and, really, her whole family\u2014still needs her help?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
