From the Back Cover
This was not how he'd imagined today would go, but he wouldn't let anyone, not even his mother, tell him what to do. Like his hero, Tom Sawyer, Henry would seek his fame and fortune in the wide world. Maybe he couldn't hitch a ride on a Mississippi riverboat, but he could take a page out of Tom's book and live by his wits and by his own rules.Know-it-all Henry Dafoe is fed up-with his sister and with his mother's plan to send him to Nova Scotia. When he runs away, Henry learns the hard way that a soft bed, a home-cooked meal, a loving family and the company of good friends are things that should never be taken for granted.
From the Inside Flap
