How is it that I never really noticed the big yellow pick-up truck with the massive tires in my neighborhood? It’ s yellow! I noticed it yesterday when a for sale sign was taped to the back window. I can’t give you one good reason for me to want that thing, but I do. I would look ridiculous driving it, and if I did drive it, I would be required to wear a shirt with no sleeves and truckers hat with a beer logo on it. You know I would be smiling the whole time. I’m just going to check the price. No harm in that.

At the moment, Charlene Rae Bucher is blissfully unaware that she will spend her formative years living inside an aluminum camper with a disinterested, dope-smoking father and a vacant, vodka-loving mother. Her extended family will consist of a bunch of equally uninspired adults who park their campers alongside the Buchers. She is truly an unlucky baby.

A lesson learned inside a rubber tractor tire forces Charlene to grow up quickly–even when no one else around her will. With the help of the retired Methodist minister on site 11A and some eccentric people she meets outside Creek’s Edge, Charlene begins to see that there’s more to life than getting the high score on Donkey Kong.
