About this listen

For fans of Darius the Great Is Not Okay comes an escapist and emotional YA coming-of-age novel following a father-son road trip across Spain, with a dash of mystery, from James Beard Award–winning author Michael Ruhlman.

Miles is known as the guy whose mom died. Uprooted from his life in NYC, he’s starting junior year in Cleveland with a dad he barely knows. His father, Jake, runs a movie theater that scrapes by playing old black-and-white and foreign films.

Luckily, a renowned Spanish director’s latest film is set to make its North American debut at the theater's spring festival—until the director unexpectedly pulls out, throwing the fate of the theater and Jake’s livelihood into a tailspin. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Jake brings Miles along on a wild goose chase across the cobblestone streets of Spain to find the filmmaker.

What starts as a shot-in-the-dark attempt to change the director’s mind turns into an unexpected journey toward connection as Miles and his father must navigate their grief over losing his mom. James Beard Award–winning author Michael Ruhlman pens a powerful tale about moving through grief and into the broader world.
