A timely novel about a rule-following daughter trying to hold her family together after her scammer of a mother disappears."A witty, off-beat, and strangely charming look at just how far an eldest child will go to keep their younger siblings together."-School Library Journal"A wild ride."-Minnesota Public RadioJust do this one thing for me.One thing? The division of labor in Drew's family goes like this: Mom manages a few shady side hustles, a thriving fake review business, and an obsession with Justin Timberlake; Drew is responsible for every other thing, including herself, her younger siblings, groceries, ukulele lessons, optometry, snow blowing, and solving all the problems the rest of the family creates. Drew is a planner, a rule follower, and mere months from leaving the chaos of her mother's world behind for the list-making, box-checking structure of college, which is why she agrees when the Momnipulator leaves her in charge while she takes a last-minute trip to a concert in Mexico City. What's one more "just one thing"?But when Heidi fails to return, Drew finds herself in the middle of the biggest mess of all-and in a race to figure it all out before the thaw. She can either stick with her plans, do the responsible thing, and walk away alone. Or she can take over the cons, stay a step ahead of the law, and just maybe hold her family together. Stuck at the lake in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, Drew and his younger sister and brother struggle to stay together after their manipulative, con artist mother dies, which they can only do if they can keep her death a secret.

“Just do this one thing for me.” Drew's mother says it more often than good morning. Heidi Hill has been juggling shady side hustles for all of Drew’s seventeen years, and Drew knows that “one thing” really means all the necessary things her mother thinks are boring, including taking care of her fifteen-year-old sister and eight-year-old brother. In fact, Drew is the closest thing to a responsible adult they’ve ever known. When their mother disappears on the way to a New Year’s Eve concert in Mexico and her schemes start unraveling, Drew is faced with a choice: Follow the rules, do the responsible thing, and walk away--alone--from her mother's mess. Or hope the weather stays cold, keep the cons going, and just maybe hold her family together.
