Book 4 in The Montgomery School Kids Series
Eleven-year-old New York City boy Nestor Ramirez embarks on a journey to Alaska, intending to bring his father back home after an unsuccessful attempt at striking it rich. With his friend Kwan Min Park in tow, Nestor's days as class clown are over as he discovers positive role models in unlikely places, and learns about the Alaska and South Korean cultures and a myriad of science and social studies facts.
On the night of the blue moon, while toasting marshmallows and listening to scary stories, Nestor senses that changes are coming and redirects his attitude. "I also learned some important things this week. It's all about GOALS - Go Out And Learn Something. Stop wasting time. Make a plan. Then do it. Yeah. It's that simple."
Nestor is surprised at how much growing up he has done in one week. When Kwan Min tells him how much he likes the new Nestor, he responds, "You know something, Kwan Min? So do I."
