Ry is on his way to camp. He s traveling on Amtrak. Too bad he didn t open his mail before he left home because the Summer ArchaeoTrails Program has been cancelled. By the time Ry gets this news he s miles from home, miles from civilization, his cell phone doesn t work, and he s lost a shoe. And, oh, isn t that his train pulling off into the distance and leaving him behind somewhere in the middle of the scrubby thickets? Oops. Live and learn. What happens when life throws curve balls, one after another, faster than a guy can blink? Lynne Rae Perkins has written an astonishing (and wonderfully funny) novel about how luck both good and bad helps us find ourselves, and gets us from here to there. Illustrated throughout with line art and comics by the author.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. WaitThe train was moving. Ry could hardly tell at first, but now he knew. It was gaining speed, and he wasn't fast enough to catch it. He had only gotten off for a minute, just to make a phone calland now it was gone. He was in the middle of nowhere, alone. Maybe it was the middle of nowhere, but to Ry, it felt like the beginning of something. Something that would take him in cars, planes, boats . . . over an ocean and back. Something like an adventure.
