Twelveyearold Beekman ODay has spent his entire life moving from place to place with his wheelerdealer father, Leo.

Now Beekman is in a new home and about to enter school, ready to go through the motions of meeting new kids and teachers. He knows that this lifestyle has got to go; that its time to make a deal with Leo and put an end to their pickupandgo shenanigans. And with a little help from the neighbors and his first best friend, Beekman is going to do all it takes to make his big deal happen.
