As Easy as Falling off the Face of the Earth - Kepler's Staff Review

When Ry's train to (just-recently-cancelled-by-letter-that-he-didn't-open-until-he-was-on-the-train-to-go-there) camp breaks down in the middle of nowhere, he decides to use this opportunity to get off the train and try to find cell phone reception to call home. With his parents sailing themselves around the Caribbean, his Grandpa is holding down the fort and watching the dogs. The one thing he's NOT doing is answering the phone. And the train is leaving without Ry.

These unexpected circumstances lead to a new friend named Del and a road trip - that turns into an airplane ride and finally a cruise on a sailboat searching for someone to help Ry figure out what is going on. In this fantastic adventure, Ry discovers that the end of the road is not always where you expect it - along with how to fix a car, put a wing on an airplane, how to help a crazy old man drive when he can't even see, and how to replace linoleum.

The adventures of Ry and Del captured my imagination and made me laugh out loud.  Get ready to enjoy the journey that takes you to an unexpected destination!
