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.
