Unable to afford an apartment, Felix and his loving but irresponsible mother live in a van. Felix sets out to win his favorite game show's junior tournament, thinking the cash prize will solve his problems. Felix is engaging both as he keeps a sense of humor and when he realizes he can no longer rely on the adults in his life. Nielsen's eye for detail brings the story to life.
