Time-Travel Runaway

Ten-year-old Bill has come to a point in his young life where he has all he can take; from moving from his home, dealing with neighborhood bullies, and dealing with his dad working what seems to be all the time. When things come to a head one day, he sees a chance to escape all the frustrations and unhappiness in his life and come back a triumphant hero with new knowledge of his favorite subject, dinosaurs. But things don't work out as he had thought. His dad had tried to teach him his own skills as an outdoorsman and hunter. Bill thought it was all useless information and lately resented any time spent together that seemed like work. He didn't want to be a clone of his dad. He was his own person. Now Bill will have to use everything he can remember, ditch his self-pity, and hopefully make it back to his own time . . . alive.
