When 18 year-old Maya leaves Chicago for a six week Australian home stay, she assumes shes heading to beautiful Barangaroo with its famous Sydney Harbour viewsNOT Barangaroo Creek, a stinking hot, fly-ridden, wi-fi dead zone hours from a decent body of water. Add her host brother, Gus, who wishes she landed in someone elses sheep paddock, and Maya is convinced shes in for six weeks of Hicksville hell.Gus has an important trip planned this summer a trip that does NOT include helping an animal-phobic girl from the States tick off items on her seriously clichd Aussie must-do list. So he comes up with a list of his ownone guaranteed to send Maya back across the Pacific, leaving him free to enjoy the last of his freedom before he heads off to agricultural college like every generation of his family has.But when Maya doesnt scare that easily, sparks begin to fly. Soon Gus and Maya discover there are hidden depths to clichd bucket-lists and secret summer trips, and that sometimes it takes someone half a world away to remind you of all the reasons youre here.
