"Wait" Ry says as the train moves away. The train was supposed to be stopped for 40 minutes, and he just stepped out to try and call his parents or grandfather. Ry was 
on his way to summer camp, and he just read the letter that told him there was no camp to go to. Now the train is moving away from Ry, with all of his stuff, short of his cell phone and his wallet. He doesn't know where he is, or how to get a hold of his parents, and his grandfather isn't answering the phone.
Ry starts to walk. He needs to get home, or find someone who can help him. He's not even sure where home is, thanks to a recent move. The first person he meets is Del, a man willing to help him out and the two of them take a car, and later a plane and a boat to find missing people, and meet up with old friends along the way.
As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth is a meandering and well crafted story that takes the reader on a journey of unfortunate events. An Omnipresent narrator tells us the story, giving us updates on both Ry's parents and Grandfather as they have their adventures at the same time as Ry. Helping tell the story are illustrations of Ry's adventures and an Incredible Journey-esque story of two family dogs.
Anyone looking for adventure or those of us who like to ask "What if..." will enjoy this tale of chance and possibilities.
I'll see you @ the library!
