Rue, known as the "outcast" at her school,  is labeled as "weird" and "different", but she's actually just misunderstood. Her father left when she was 10 years old, her mother died from cancer three years later, her little brother has schizophrenia, and her older sister is trying her best to give them a good life. Ever since her mother died she became very distant  from her siblings and never bothered to make friends at school. But what happens when Coby,  a new student that transfers to Rue's school, befriends Rue? Will Rue let Coby into her life or will she shut him out like everybody else?

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
