Far from home, separated from his family and not knowing a soul, Mattie Kleinfeld is scared, homesick and cries himself to sleep. But soon the tears give way to new friends and fantastic adventures. Mattie goes hiking and fishing. He sails and swims and participates in team sports. But it is not the canoe trips or the overnights that set this summer apart; it is not even his first girlfriend. It is a clue that he and his pals stumble upon that leads them to the adventure of a lifetime, to a vast treasure and to a window that sheds light on Mattie's unique background. Mattie's story will engage the imagination of every reader and capture the heart of any adult who was ever a kid.

CHAPTER 1
The Long Smelly Bus Ride

I never considered myself one of the cool kids; but I knew that I wasn't a geek either. I didn't blindly follow the crowd but I was definitely not a leader. I guess I just liked being left alone to do my own thing. I think that came from being an immigrant; from being born in another country. I guess no matter how long you live here there's always a part of you that feels like an outsider. My English is perfect, I have no accent whatsoever, I look and dress just like any other American kid. But there must be something about me that's different on the inside. Well anyway, it must have been that something on the inside that my parents were trying to change because the summer I turned twelve my parents decided to pack me off for summer camp; sleep-away camp......

Summer Sleep-Away an adventure you can't miss...
