Aloysius Horatio Smith is used to getting picked on. Thirteen years old and called an old soul by his grandmother, he’s also nearly six feet tall, uncannily smart, and known for screeching when pranksters startle him at school.
Einstein, his best friend and confidant is a wiry pit bull pup that his mother rescued from a kill shelter. One day in November after the first dusting of snow, eleven-month-old Einstein catches a scent and disappears into the woods.
He doesn’t come back.
Instead of waiting for the school bus, Aloysius hides under the porch until his mother leaves for work.
He gathers a few survival items and six peanut butter and jelly sammiches, then leaves a note vowing not to return until Einstein returns with him.
