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.
Peg Kehret was born in Wisconsin, grew up in Minnesota, spent 14 years in California, and now lives with her husband in Washington.
Kehret’s novels focus on ordinary kids in exciting situations who must then use their wits to solve problems. Regularly recommended by the American Library Association, the International Reading Association, and the Children's Book Council, her works include Danger at the Fair, Cages, DangerousDeception, and Earthquake Terror.
Kehret’s autobiography, Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio, won the Golden Kite Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, and the PEN Center USA West Award for Children's Literature.
