Аннотация

Abandoned by his wife and devastated by the death of his twelve-year old son, Eddy Bale becomes obsessed with the plight of terminally ill children and develops a plan to provide a last hurrah dream vacation for seven children who will never grow-up. Eddy and his four dysfunctional chaperones journey to the entertainment capital of America — Disney World. Once they arrive, a series of absurdities characteristic of an Elkin novel — including a freak snowstorm and a run-in with a vengeful Mickey Mouse — transform Eddy's idealistic wish into a fantastic nightmare.
