The name is Henry Buckford, or Buck for short, and I live in Planet Estates with my family. My friends, the Insiders, live in the Estates, too, and you can usually find us patrolling our neighborhood or hanging out at the Fort, which is near my house. One warm, sunny afternoon something horrifying happens to my best friend, Sully, and I add it to my list of unfortunate events in my life. My family and friends rarely understand my feelings nor pay attention to my needs, so I end up leaving home against the advice of our group leader, Chas. As a result, my life turns upside down as I'm quickly forced to learn survival skills, outwit terrifying weather, and help complete strangers, which I'm not good at. On top of all that, Daisy goes missing because of my actions, a creep named Macabee Jones, and his gang, start causing trouble for the Insiders, and Chas throws us a curve ball by stepping down as our leader. Who will win the election and become the next one in charge? This is sure one summer I'll never forget. Two Shakes, Henry "Buck" Buckford
