Adam seems to have an ordinary life in Buffalo: supportive parents, a steady girlfriend and average grades. When his late grandfather’s will sends him to France, Adam sees a chance to change his story and win the attention of Vanessa, the most popular girl at school.

In France he must complete three increasingly difficult tasks while struggling with the language and a troubling secret from his grandfather’s past. The mission forces Adam to confront danger, learn humility and find a way to make amends that honors his family name.

Full of humor, quiet stakes and character growth, Last Message blends a coming-of-age arc with an adventurous quest and cultural discovery. Adam’s journey continues the wider tale begun in Separated and followed by Double You.
