Twelve-year-old Eddie Gordon Holloway has concocted his most genius
plan ever to avoid chores… especially the dreaded L-A-U-N-D-R-Y.
If he can wear all the clothes he owns, he’ll only
have to do the laundry once during his break.
On the day of the highly anticipated Beach Bash, Eddie’s monstrous
pile of dirty laundry is found by his mom. And Eddie’s day has
just taken a turn for the worst.Now he’s stuck at home by himself,
missing the bash, and doing his whole pile of laundry.
But mid-cycle, the power goes out! With his first load of laundry
wet and the rest of his stuff still filthy, he sets out to explore
the seemingly empty neighborhood in his glow-in-the-dark swim
trunks, flip-flops, and a beach towel.
He soon meets up with other neighborhood kids: newcomer Xavier
(who was mid-haircut and has half his head shaved), Eddie’s former
friend Sonia (who has spent her entire break trying to beat a
video game and was mid-battle with the final boss), and siblings
Trey and Sage (who are dealing with major sibling drama). As they
group up to cover more ground and find out what happened, they realize
that their families aren’t coming back anytime soon. And as
night falls, the crew realizes that they aren’t just the only people
left in the neighborhood, they might be the only people left…
anywhere.
