Because of money problems, Spencer Atwood and is mom have to
move out of their rented house. They go to Spencer’s Aunt May. While leaving,
Spencer can’t find Foxy, his cat, so they have to go without him. However,
Spencer sneaks out at night and goes back to his old house and gets Foxy back.
When Mama finds out, though, she tells him the “fool cat” has to go back. After
Spencer’s pleading, she softens up an bit and tells him he would be able to
keep Foxy until he finds a new home for him. After three days, Foxy goes to the
pound.
Spencer does not want to give Foxy up, so he decides to run
away. He thinks he should go to his dad, who works, Spencer believes, at
Candlestick Park, for the San Fransisco Giants, his favorite baseball team.
Will Spencer get there, all by himself with Foxy, on a bicycle? What will
happen if he does?
Follow Spencer as he tries to reach Candlestick Park in this
enthralling and funny novel by Peg Keheret. I would recommend this book for
ages 9+.
