What would you do if your parents werent watching? Its 1943 and eleven-year-old Les MacGregor is thinking of running away. Hes sick of his parents, who are always fighting, and his three horrible brothers-perfect James, bitter Charlie, and annoying Johnny-the youngest, and a total pest. With his parents focused on their problems, Les has plenty of time on his own to do what he wants. After being ostracized thanks to the school bully, Les spends time dissecting a dead cat in his secret science lab, scaling the attic roof, and tapping phone lines, which seems like a great idea until the FBI comes calling. Its time for Les to go, so he plans his escape. While the family gathers at the station to ship his oldest brother off to war, Les figures its the perfect time to hop a train and go on a grand adventure. After all, theres nobody looking-right?
