Andrew moves to a new place with his spontaneous, easy-going family. He soon meets Victor, and his first impression is of a kid who is a bit off, a poor student, a ne'er-do-well. It doesn't take long for Andrew to discover that Victor knows everything there is to know about military aircraft, and Victor's love for planes soon infects Andrew, too.
Andrew and Andrew's family, Victor and Victor's family—all of these are fascinating people that you will want to meet. Victor rattles on and on about planes, and it was way more than I wanted to know about them, but that seems oddly appropriate.
