Since they were kids, Lina, Milo, Avery, and Mac’s families have spent a week together on vacation in Provincetown, Massachusetts. P-town is a cozy town nestled on the Cape known for being welcoming and inclusive. Their annual Family Week trip has always felt like an escape from the real world. It’s always been a place that welcomes them with open arms, where they can forget their troubles, but this year, everything is different, and this trip might just be their last.
☀️MEET THE CHARACTERS: Author Sarah Moon shared character traits to help you get to know Lina, Milo, Avery, and Mac before you read. CLICK HERE!
Told over the course of their week-long vacation through each of their perspectives, readers get to know Lina, Milo, Mac, and Avery as they spend what feels like their final Family Week together. Each of their unique personalities shines through, and you’ll feel like you’re the fifth member of the friend group experiencing all their wins and struggles along with them. From worries about shifting sibling bonds and a learning disorder diagnosis to switching schools and navigating new family dynamics, the characters’ anxieties about the big changes they’re facing feel so authentic. Filled with found family, queer joy, and summer vibes, Family Week by Sarah Moon feels as warm as a sunny day spent at your favorite vacation spot.
Family Week
Four best friends spend Family Week together at an annual gathering of LGBTQ+ families in Provincetown, MA—the largest of its kind across the world—in this middle grade coming-of-age story that celebrates identity, acceptance, and found family.
For as long as they can remember, Mac, Lina, Milo and Avery have celebrated Family Week together in “the smallest, gayest town in the world”—Provincetown, Massachusetts.
But this summer, their big rented beach house feels different. Avery’s dads are splitting up, and her life feels like it’s falling apart. Milo’s flunked seventh grade, which means everyone is moving on to bigger and better things except for him. Mac’s on his way to a progressive boarding school that lets transgender kids like him play soccer, but it means leaving his twin sister, Lina, and his moms—and the safety of home—behind.
Everything is changing, and for Lina, it feels like it’s happening with or without her. Avery, Milo, and Mac know this is going to be their last summer together. But Lina can’t accept that—and if she can make this the best summer ever, maybe she’ll convince them that there will be a Family Week next year. Good things might not last in the real world, but they do in P-town…. Right?
