Happiness is a Hot Dog Bun

Late night eating results in the adventure of a lifetime for an eleven-year-old girl as she travels around the world in one night. The odd thing is...everything is made up of hot dog buns.

Athena Vogel and her Mother, Aleksandra are moving again. This time it's to Iowa. Aleksandra is doing the best she can as a single Mom as Athena's Dad left them when she was three. Now it's just Aleksandra, Athena, and George (their dependable 1966 Ford pickup truck). When they arrive at their tiny, rented guest house in the middle of the night, they are tired and hungry. To their excitement, the last renters left four hot dog buns behind. Grateful for the soft fluffy bread, they eat then go to sleep in sleeping bags on the floor. Athena starts to dream. It is then that the adventure begins.
