Children’s Book: Girls dad leaves because he’s a criminal and she spends the book trying to find him
I read this book in elementary school with my mom and we both loved and and have been trying to find it for literal YEARS!
I also believe the book is red. The title of this post is what i remember/ presume was the main plot. I also faintly remember something about like a bridge and the dad being in a car chase over said bridge in the woods and all the people in town watching in on the news in the town bar. This is a very minor detail but i remember the main character (who was a young girl) her mom had a new boyfriend and said main character couldn’t stand him. One of the main reason was because he would “pour himself a glass of milk” when her dad would just “take a swig” from the carton. If anyone can find this book I will seriously be indebted to you for the rest of my life lol thank you!!
