Description
Joe Oak está acostumbrado a vivir en terreno inestable. No se puede depender de su madre, ya que nunca se queda mucho tiempo con ella una vez que le da "picazón", y ahora él y su querida abuela se encuentran sin un hogar. Afortunadamente, Joe tiene una salida en sus diarios y dibujos y se consuela con las lecciones de los cómics: los superhéroes tienen muchos momentos de "y luego boom", donde todo amenaza con arruinarse pero de alguna manera aterrizan sobre sus pies. Y eso parece pasarle mucho a Joe también, ya que en esta crisis su amigo Nick les ayuda a encontrar un hogar en su parque de casas rodantes. Pero las cosas vuelven a desmoronarse cuando de repente Joe se ve obligado a valerse por sí mismo. No le dice a nadie que está solo porque teme el cuidado de crianza y tiene la esperanza de que su madre regrese. Pero el tiempo se acaba: las facturas se acumulan, se ha cortado la electricidad y el año escolar está a punto de terminar, lo que significa que no habrá más comidas gratis. La lucha por alimentarse se vuelve intensa y Joe se encuentra buscando comida en contenedores de basura. Nunca se había sentido tan solo, hasta que una perrita demacrada y sus dos pequeños cachorros se cruzan en su camino. Y el destino tiene aún más reservado para Joe, porque un tornado real está a punto de azotar su hogar, y justo cuando parece que todo está perdido, su vida toma una dirección que nunca podría haber predicho.
Description
Joe Oak is used to living on unsteady ground. His mom can't be depended on as she never stays around long once she gets "the itch," and now he and his beloved grandmother find themselves without a home. Fortunately, Joe has an outlet in his journals and drawings and takes comfort from the lessons of comic books--superheroes have a lot of "and then, boom" moments, where everything threatens to go bust but somehow they land on their feet. And that seems to happen a lot to Joe too, as in this crisis his friend Nick helps them find a home in his trailer park. But things fall apart again when Joe is suddenly left to fend for himself. He doesn't tell anyone he's on his own, as he fears foster care and has hope his mom will come back. But time is running out--bills are piling up, the electricity's been shut off, and the school year's about to end, meaning no more free meals. The struggle to feed himself gets intense, and Joe finds himself dumpster diving for meals. He's never felt so alone--until an emaciated little dog and her two tiny pups cross his path. And fate has even more in store for Joe, because an actual tornado is about to hit home--and just when it seems all is lost, his life turns in a direction that he never could have predicted.
