Bang-up adventure novel featuring Doig's usual cast of eccentric characters. A young boy living with his grandmother in Montana is forced to stay with relatives in Wisconsin while his grandmother faces a serious operation and an extended recovery. All the plans are torn asunder and the boy spends a summer to remember with his step uncle crossing the country from bus to bus to bus. A great read.
