A boy plans to run away to Alaska with plastic fangs. Will he go?
Sam is determined to escape to Alaska, where he imagines fitting in with walruses thanks to his plastic fangs. Frustrated by his mother's rules, he bids farewell to his neighbors, collecting unexpected advice and survival gear. As his journey unfolds, will Sam's resolve to leave home waver, or will he embrace the wild adventure he dreams of? Discover the twists in Sam's runaway plan and whether his longing for freedom outweighs the comforts of home.
Sam Krupnik, mad at his mother because she won’t let him wear his newly acquired plastic fangs in the house, decides to run away to Alaska. There, he can look like the walruses with their tusks–at least they would let him wear his fangs. But as Sam says goodbye to his neighbors, he receives more advice and survival tools than he knows what to do with. Will Sam have to change his mind about Alaska?
