All Jeff Greene wants is his mother, Melody, back. His father, the Professor, is a difficult man—at least, so his mother tells him. But when Melody takes off to save the world, Jeff is left alone to navigate life with his quiet, emotionless father … and to dream of ways to reconnect with the mother he once thought was so perfect. How could Jeff ever know that when Melody finally does come crashing back into his life, it will change his relationships—with his mother, with his father, and even with himself—forever?
