Description

Dick Hamilton is the sort of teenager who can turn a simple birthday gift into a grand adventure. When his father lets him choose any automobile, he picks a spacious touring car he christens “The Last Word,” perfect for sleeping, eating and exploring with his best friend Paul. Together they leave the regimented world of Kentfield Military Academy behind, setting their sights on a road trip to San Francisco.

Along the dusty highways and rolling hills, the boys stumble into a series of unexpected challenges. A mysterious stranger in the great salt desert asks for help, while Dick’s miserly Uncle Ezra schemes to undermine his plans. The young millionaire’s quick thinking and daring spirit turn a leisurely drive into a race against time to protect a fortune that isn’t his own. Listeners will enjoy the blend of youthful camaraderie, high‑spirited mishaps, and the thrill of a road‑trip turned heroic quest.
