Jack Putnam, eleven, and his younger brother Benny expect a dull summer when their parents drag them off on vacation. Instead of the theme-park trip they hoped for, the family heads to Chowder Bay, a small harbour town on the coast of Maine that seems to offer nothing but quiet. The boys soon discover that the town is anything but dull. Strange creatures and odd happenings turn their holiday into a run of escapades, and the brothers find themselves tangled in local mysteries. The town holds more surprises than the brothers ever expected.
