Connor is on a cruise to Greece and Turkey! True, Dad couldn’t come, and he’s sharing a cramped cabin with his mom and bratty little sister. But he has his game “Doppelganger” keep him company when things are too quiet. Oddly, some of their fellow passengers regard him as a troublemaker – even though he hasn’t done anything wrong! And when he goes ashore, sometimes shopkeepers yell at him in Greek and Turkish! There’s another kid on board - who somehow ends up wearing Connor’s favourite soccer shirt. And that boy looks exactly like him…!
