Abstract:
Ellie Pages is an accomplished underachiever. She prefers even numbers, and unlike her best friend, Ed, she wants everything to stay the same. As seemingly random events take place, Ellie soon learns that just when you're walking along and all is under control, you should expect someone to stick their foot out. Join Ellie and her band of misfits on an adventure that takes them from a small town in New Jersey to Austin, Texas.
So what does all this have to do with a three-toed Portuguese water dog named Lucy? And what secret about Ellie’s true name is she hiding?
