INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Perkins, Lynne Rae

As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth

(1) 4-6 On his way to summer camp, fifteen-year-old Ry discovers that the camp has gone out of business; when he hops off the train to call his grandfather, it leaves without him, stranding him in the middle of nowhere. A lot happens in the novel--parents, grandfathers, and dogs go MIA--and wherever Perkins's warm, funny, wise narrative goes is where a reader wants to be.
