About
In this heartfelt middle-grade romp from the New York Times-bestselling author of The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, 12-year-old Oscar Aberdeen would do nearly anything to save his home, including:
-Break an elderly ex-mobster out of his retirement home in exchange for a boatload of cash
-"Borrow" a car
-Gamble in an underground poker game
-Help a cranky but lovable old man finish off his Bucket List
Oscar Aberdeen is a bit of an oddball. He's an ace at playing bridge, loves Frank Sinatra, and attends a whole lot of funerals. He's also the youngest resident of Sunny Days retirement home by a half-century or so-and he wouldn't have it any other way. So when his grandpa's suddenly served an eviction notice that threatens their place at Sunny Days, he needs to find some cash. Fast.
Enter Jimmy Deluca, a shady elderly man with a reputation for being bad news, who makes Oscar an offer he can't refuse. He's got the drop on riches hidden away on the "outside" and he'll share the loot with Oscar on one condition: he busts him out of Sunny Days.
In this humdinger of an adventure, the ultimate odd couple, along with an uninvited stowaway, go from high-stakes escape to rollicking escapade as they search for the secret stash. Will Oscar succeed in saving the only home he's ever known? Or will he have to fuggedaboutit and return a failure?
Dan Gemeinhart is the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the middle-grade novels The Midnight Children, The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, Coyote Lost and Found, The Honest Truth, Some Kind of Courage, Scar Island, and Good Dog, as well as the picture books Once Upon a Friend and The Gingerbread Monster.
