tl;dr Lucky's mom whisks him off to Arizona for part of the summer to escape a father obsessed with cooking more than family, a dangerous bully, and a school year pockmarked with the frustrating results of a joke gone awry. His dreams and the ants, however, will stick around for the trip.

I wouldn't really recommend the audiobook on this one...the narrator's voice had a creepy edge to it that made me concerned that Lucky was going to succumb to the pressures of his life and go on a shooting rampage. This concern was probably amplified somewhat by recent events, but from other reviews it sounds like Lucky comes off as a more positive, funny, do-gooder and genuinely nice person. I didn't feel like I heard the same Lucky in the audiobook.
