Out of sight, out of mind. Thats what Tallahassee Higginss mother, Liz, always says about her ex-boyfriends. But now that Tallahassee has been sent to live with her aunt and uncle in Maryland so Liz can start a movie career in California, the words are taking on new meaning. Aunt Thelma says that Liz is gone for good, but Talley is sure her mother will come for her. So who cares if mean Aunt Thelma hates her, if shes failing sixth grade, or if the kids at school think shes a liar? Its not like shes staying in Maryland forever. Unless Aunt Thelma is right and Liz isnt coming back.
