Duff Pringle has bought his first car. (Used.) He''s got six days to drive 3,000 miles cross-country to California and start a new hi-tech job that will make him wealthy. (Sort of.) Nothing can stop him. (Or can it?)Uh-oh . . . CAR TROUBLE.Duff''s Ford Escort barely makes it a hundred miles from home before breaking down. What''s he supposed to do? He''s promised his new boss he''ll be there by Monday. But he''s also promised himself that he''ll make this journey by car, so he can really see the country. Using his laptop and some quick thinking, he pieces together a way to continue his trip. What he doesn''t plan on are the people he meets along the road. There''s Stu, a hitchhiker with a secret; Bonnie, an aspiring singer with a con artist for a mother; two thugs looking for a trunkful of cash; and Moony, the terrier prone to carsickness.
