Sure, Kaz has questions about life beyond the Fence. Yet aside from the occasional scrapes with Block the bully, he doesn't think the Enclosure is so bad. It's where he unzips bananas at mealtime, monkeys around with his buddy Chim, and WHOOOOOOPS loudly in the tress. It's the only place Kaz has ever known.

Together with the timid Chim, Kaz and the mighty Skink plot an escape. If they succeed, life inside--and outside--the Enclosure will never be the same.
