Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft icon husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers, she's a disgrace; to design beginners, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.

But one day, Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's allergy to Seattle, and people in general has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands.

I absolutely loved this book because of the subtle humor and sarcasm, as well as the captivating storyline. Overall, I viewed the main idea as facing your fears. Every character in some way faces their fears throughout the story. The story shows us that everyone must face their fears, some more than others.  For Bernadette, it's coping with her Agoraphobia, while for Bee, its' learning how to bond with her father as much as her mother. I would recommend this book for someone looking for a satirical read, but with a good moral.

“When "Here Comes the Sun" started, what happened? No, the sun didn't come out, but Mom opened up like the sun breaking through the clouds. You know how in the first few notes of that song, there's something about George's guitar that's just so hopeful? It was like when Mom sang, she was full of hope, too. She even got the irregular clapping right during the guitar solo. When the song was over, she paused.

"Oh Bee," she said. "This song reminds me of you." She had tears in her eyes.”  (144)

Bee and her mother share many close moments throughout the book. One of these bonding moments is as Bee and her mother sit in the car, and listen to Abbey Road from start to end. Bee feels like this brings her closer to her mother and shines a new light upon her.

Bee and her mother are close as can be. They treat each other like best friends. Their relationship is what keeps Bee going.  This video would be inspirational to Bee as this mother and daughter pair has just a close bond as they do.

Where'd You Go Bernadette has much talk about Antarctica, the coldest, windiest, driest desert continent on earth. Located around the South Pole, Antarctica covers an area of 5.1 million square miles (larger than the US, as well as the continents of Europe or Australia) and has a thick ice cap that has built over millions of years.

Those who can afford the price tag of around $10,000 can go on a cruise to the continent navigating through the Drake Passage. The Drake Passage is a body of water, which connects the southern tip of South America and the Shetland islands of Antarctica.

A recurring theme in Where'd you go, Bernadette, is that family should always stick closely together. The main character Bee proves this, as she bonds with both her mother and father to solve family issues.
