Kip spends the summer with his grandmother and five cousins, while the book is described as exploring family and where one belongs.
Kip finds his late father’s teenage binder containing lists, hair samples, newspaper clippings, business cards and a confidential report.
The family’s behaviour is unusual, but the book’s treatment of it is not fully clear.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
