Oscar Aberdeen is a bit of an oddball. He 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, an elderly ex-mobster, 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 from #1 New York Times-bestselling author Dan Gemeinhart, the ultimate odd couple, along with an uninvited stowaway, go from high-stakes escape to rollicking escapade as they search for the secret stash - and forge an unlikely friendship along the way. 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. A former elementary teacher-librarian and lifelong reader, he lives with his wife and three daughters in a small town in Washington state.
