Plot summary[]

Terry Anders is a fourteen-year-old boy who lives in Cleveland, Ohio. When both of his parents abandon him, he decides to go on a cross country adventure to find an uncle that he vaguely remembers after assembling his father's abandoned Blakely Bearcat kit car project. Along the way he befriends two Vietnam vets, Waylon and Wayne, with whom he enjoys life on the open road. This book is about their adventure together as they travel across the country.
