If you've ever been forced to go on a family holiday to the middle of nowhere, you know it's like getting a filling at the dentists. Everything from the long drives, boring day trips and beds that wage war on your spine, make it anything but a fun experience.
The thought of a two week holiday with his mother and annoying sister did not excite Jake Archibald one bit. If they were taking him to Disneyland or Hawaii, he would have been totally up for it. But Brimbrilla? Even Google Earth has never heard of that place! Besides, he already had enough on his mind with the separation of his parents and his weight issues.
But this trip will prove to be anything but boring. From getting into a series of crazy situations to making friends with a stand-up comedian and a kid named Shakespeare, Jake is about to experience the adventure of a lifetime.
