Some facts about Billy Dickens: * He once saw a biker swerve across the road in order to run over a snake.

* Later, that motorcycle somehow ended up at the bottom of a canal.

* Billy isn't the type to let things go.

Some facts about Billy's family: * They've lived in six different Florida towns because Billy's mum insists on getting a house near a bald eagle nest.

* Billy's dad left when he was four and is a total mystery.

* Billy has just found his dad's address – in Montana.

This summer, Billy will fly across the country, hike a mountain, float a river, dodge a grizzly bear, shoot down a spy drone, save a neighbour's cat, save an endangered panther, and then try to save his own father.
