Description
Nobody expects a runaway to hike on the Appalachian Trail.
Don Gallagher, 16, joins a springtime migration of backpackers.
They trek northbound in Georgia. Hikers nickname him Chuckaboo.
Discontent motivates him. He won’t return home unless that
skinhead couch potato—also known as Mom’s boyfriend—moves out.
Chuckaboo struggles to keep his background a secret. Money runs short.
The prospect of hunger weighs on his mind.
He falls in with a thru-hiker named Zigzag, 21 years old. They forge
an alliance.
When Zigzag exhibits sketchy behavior, Chuckaboo grows uneasy.
