Rylan and his lifelong friend Wilder had some conflict (about his life of poverty compared to Wilder’s wealth), but to make up at it, Wilder invited him to go with him to a program called SCOFF - Students Communing on French Farms for the summer. While they are there, they take turns cooking dinner and learning about French food, taking care of goats, playing games and participating in a competition against the advanced students from the previous summer.

It is a fun read about friendship and working through tough times together, and having a dad, who isn’t a great dad.
