Now a movie with Cate Blanchett, Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple is as fun as it gets. The story follows Bee Branch, a 15-year-old girl who takes it upon herself to solve the mystery of her eccentric mother's disappearance. Lives and stories intertwine and unfold as Bee realises her mother is not only an enigma to everyone around her, but unbelievably difficult to trace.
