Zip

An 11 year old takes her scooter Zip and sets out from Washington state to Austin Texas. Along the way she meets, Circe, Tiresias, Calypso, etc. Though not in classical form. Past magical realism, this doesn't quite hit fantasy, so it's aim is a bit uncertain.

After Lyssa's mother dies, her kind but clueless new stepfather moves with her to the suburbs of Seattle in the hopes of making a fresh start. But Lyssa feels lost and adrift in the rainy Northwest without her mom. And when she finds out that her old house in Texas is about to be bulldozed, something snaps inside her. Fiercely determined, Lyssa climbs onto her scooter and sets off cross-country to save her home.
