As Easy as Falling off the Face of the Earth by Lynne Rae Perkins

Ry's parents and grandfather seem to have fallen off of the face of the earth!  Ry is stranded in the middle of Montana.  He can't get a hold of anyone and no one can get a hold of him.  When Ry runs into a man named Del, a superhero, fix-it guy, the two of them travel back to Wisconsin (to find Ry's grandfather) and to the Caribbean (to find Ry's parents).  Along the way, the two run into a series of mishaps and colorful characters and have an incredible journey.  This humorous, adventure story is on the 2013 Rebecca Caudill list.
