Summary
Twleve-year-old Spencer lives in Seattle with his mother, his Aunt May, and his beloved cat, Foxey. Spencer, who hasn't seen his father for years, believes he lives in San Francisco and works for the San Francisco Giants baseball team. When Spencer's mother and his Aunt May tell him he can no longer keep Foxey, he decides to run away to California (of course, bringing Foxey with him) in search of his father-a man he's sure would let him keep his pet. Unfortunately, traveling from Washington state to California by bicycle is a lot more difficult than Spencer anticipates-especially when his money is stolen and Foxey manages to escape.
