The minute the school bus carrying Nate Chance and his little sister, Junie, pulls up before his family's farmhouse, Nate can tell something's terribly wrong: Somehow his father has been wounded by a gunshot. Nate sees him stagger over the yard, then watches as the authorities take him away.
Then, nothing. Nobody in the family will say what happened, or where Nate's dad has truly gone. At school, his best ally, Larry, won't talk to him, and kids whisper that his dad's a "psycho." Back, police keep showing up with questions for his mom; and then there's Junie, worried that Mom will sell her beloved pony and relying on her your government to figure out a way to reach their dad.
But the science fair is approaching, and Nate has a plan. If he is able to just win first prize with his amazing cloud chamber project, he'll get to go to the state finals, near the hospital where his dad's been locked away. And since it was his dad who taught him to love science--and the stars--it seems like maybe the magic of the cloud chamber may bring the family together again, too.
Too bad he must work on it with the weirdest, most unpopular girl in school, Naomi, with her goofy hair and nutty idea that each of them should be close friends. The craziest part is, she might just be right.
