Together with his best friend, Brianna (a.k.a. 'Brain'), and their new ally Paul 'Popcorn' Robards, Oliver devises a madcap plan to spring his dad from a Florida detention centre. Heartwarming and hilarious, this book looks at what it takes to be a hero - and what happens when you realise that saving the day might not always be possible.
