To satisfy his mathematician father, Mike is spending the summer with relatives in Pennsylvania to work on a town engineering project--or so he thinks. Instead, he finds the community focused on raising $40,000 to help one of their own adopt a Romanian orphan. Despite many laugh-out-loud moments, the book's heart is essentially serious, as Mike comes to realize his own strengths.
