Official synopsis Publisher
Life has been tough for Spencer since his dad left. His mom complains constantly, they never seem to have enough money, and they’re always having to move. He knows his father works for the Giants baseball team and lives somewhere in San Francisco—and Spencer’s sure that if he can somehow get there, his dad will take him in. But California is a long, dangerous way from Seattle if you’ve only got fourteen dollars, you’re twelve, and you’re alone.
