Chicago born and bred, Cody Haskell is overjoyed to receive a 10^th birthday gift of two weeks with his grandparents in Cundy's Harbor, Maine. By the end of his visit, Cody has filled a scrapbook recording new experiences like lobstering with his granddad, kayaking, hooking a shark, hiking on the Appalachian Trail, and moose, whale and windjammer-spotting. He has discovered that moxie is much more than a drink, it's the best possible description of the gutsy spirit and inventiveness of Maine's people.
