When Jake and Taylor's depressed mother ends up in the hospital after being beaten by her abusive boyfriend, the boys run away. By train and truck, they travel from Pittsburgh suburbs to Wyoming and track down their outdoorsman father, but not without a good deal of convenient adult intervention. Wallace's knowledge of wilderness survival (tips appended) outweigh his writing skills, but the adventure has heart.
