The raft was supposed to be just another part of their running away game.Īubrey doesn’t know where Joel is, but they might know how to find him.For the last two weeks of the school year, when sixth grade became too much, Aubrey and Joel have been building a raft in the woods.Aubrey can’t say much, but since lies of omission are still lies, here’s what they know for sure:

The whole town is looking for him, and Aubrey was the last person to see Joel. But lately, even their shared weirdness seems weird. In the woods of a small Kentucky town, Aubrey sets off on a journey about growing up, self-discovery, and acceptance while searching for their missing best friend-perfect for fans of King and the Dragonflies and Three Times Lucky.Īubrey and Joel are like two tomato vines that grew along the same crooked fence: weird, yet the same kind of weird.
