His wooden leg never slows him down. But the race to locate the surgeon who operated on him may have come to a crashing halt.

But the determined boy’s dismay returns when their promised guide vanishes.

With a red handkerchief in the possession of a vagabond as their only clue, Gary and his brothers navigate the fragile world of the Hobo Jungle. And just as the siblings lament the loss of another lead, they find themselves locked in a hot boxcar…

Will the driven trio solve the mystery before their quest is permanently derailed?
