Seven year old Troy Tomler involuntarily embarks on an incredible journey when his family's minivan is carjacked - with him still inside! To the gas station,to the mall, and around town, readers travel with Troy and share in his discoveries and frustrations as he bravely faces dangers most seven-year-olds could not handle. Yet, there is something very special and unique about Troy - he can only speak using vowels! His restricted speaking abilities, however, do not hinder him from temporarily escaping the kidnappers, making friends, shopping alone and participating in a Christmas play. In spite of the disability most children and adults taunt him about, Troy proves to be a very smart, kindhearted, and fairly independent young boy.
Troy is special. He's the smallest kid in school and can barely speak a word. But inside his head there is an amazing universe that helps him through his difficult world. That world is rocked when he is abducted by strangers.
