It takes place in the suburbs. It is in present time because there are cars. I don't know what city or state it takes place in. George lives with both of his parents in a tiny house.Their backyard is very neat. "There were rows of string beans strictly tied to stakes, lines of floppy lettuces, frothy dark green carrot tops, and well-behaved potato plants." pg. 8 . They have a garden in their backyard because they try to make as much as they can without going to the store. Eric and Annie live right next to them in a house with paint peeling off. Their windows are shattered too.

George runs after his pig an abandoned house, so he thinks. It turns out the house just got bought by a girl and her dad. Their names are Eric and Annie. Annie's dad is a scientist. He has the most intelligent computer in the world. It can talk and teleport you into space. The problem starts when George accidentally tells his mean teacher about the computer. His teacher has been searching for the computer that Eric has. He wants to use the computer for bad things.
