Since as far back as Ben can remember, it's been him, his devoted dad, and Sunshine—Ben's little dog, who rarely leaves Ben's side. It was Mom who did the leaving, and Ben's about to spend a whole week with his suddenly present mother in the wilds of northern Minnesota. On the remote island she calls home, Ben will learn to camp, canoe, weather the elements, and weigh a burning question: when will she come back to where she belongs? Newbery Honoree Marion Dane Bauer evokes the "summer that changed everything" in the life of a boy growing up without a mother. This must-listen for dog lovers, children of divorce, and the imaginative and outdoorsy is a poignant, ultimately hopeful story about self-discovery, facing big realities, and forgiving the things—and people—you can't forget.

      Narrator Jesse Einstein establishes a youthful voice for Ben, who will be staying with his mother in her cabin on a remote island in northern Minnesota for a week. Ben hasn't seen his mom since she left him when he was only three years old. To help cope, he pretends that he has a dog named Sunshine. Einstein captures Ben's emotions as he meets new challenges and has new experiences with the mother he's longed for. Now that he is growing up and reconnecting with her, he starts to question if he really needs an imaginary friend. Listeners will enjoy following Ben on his new adventure.
