He wants to spend his summer camping and exploring the strange blue planet. His parents contact the Interspace Travel Agency to make the plans for his trip. They find a family for Zak to spend his summer vacation with that has a little boy who needs a friend. This boys name is Brandon. Brandon has just move to a new town and wants to spend his summer with a new friend. Brandon’s parents contact the Summer Friends organization to help find a friend for Brandon over the summer.
