The things Owen wrote

the long version

"Owen has always done well, even without trying that hard. He gets A's in school, is an avid photographer and knows he can count on his family's support. But then Owen makes a mistake. A big one. And now he must face his fear of disappointing his entire family. A last-minute trip to Iceland, just Owen and his granddad, seems like the perfect way out. For Owen's granddad, the trip is about paying tribute to a friend with Icelandic roots. But Owen has a more urgent reason for going: he must get back the notebook his granddad accidentally sent to the Iceland archive. He can't let anyone read the things he wrote in it! The pair gets on a plane, excited to leave their prairie town for a country of lava fields, glaciers and geysers. However, as they explore Iceland, the plan to recover Owen's notebook starts to spiral out of control. Why does Owen's granddad seem so confused and forgetful? And can Owen really hide the truth of what's in his notebook?"--
