How are they even supposed to reach that? But eventually the weather gets worse and dangerous things start falling from the sky, like a giant pancake, and more food than everybody can eat, and they can't get rid of it. One of the weird weather descriptions is the jello that sets in the west one night. The people living in the place are fine with this, and there's an agency called the Sanitation Department which scoops up all the stuff that nobody eats and puts it in the ocean, feeds the dogs and cats for some bizarre reason, and puts some of it in the earth so that the soil can be richer for the people's flower gardens. Their grandfather tells them a bedtime story about a place where food falls from the sky instead of regular weather. A brother and sister live with their mom and their grandfather (it doesn't say where their father is). It doesn't really go anywhere, and I'm not crazy about the framing device.
