Losing Joe's Place

 

Jason and his two best friends convince their parents to let them spend the summer in Toronto. Joe, Jason's brother, is going to Europe for the summer

and his apartment is available. Joe leaves them with only one stipulation--do not lose my apartment.

The book opens in September and Joe angrily is looking for Jason and an explanation as to why he has been evicted from his apartment. Thus begins the

summer adventure of Jason Cardone, Don Champion, and Ferguson Peach. We experience their frustrations of trying to find jobs, convince the police that

their car that they thought was stolen had just been borrowed, appeasing an apartment owner who took advantage of them every opportunity that he was

given. Then enters an unusual character, Rootbeer Racinette, who certainly spices up their adventure.
