Bug, accompanied by his older cousin Danny and his tall friend Cobbie, embark on a three-day adventure through the rugged but beautiful forests of North Georgia, chased all the while by a diabolical history professor and his Twinkie-obsessed henchman, Mister Strange.

Join Bug, Danny, and Cobbie as they face fire-shooting bears, speeding locomotives, stump spiders, raging hounds and other dangers along the backwoods trail that leads to an astonishing discovery that changes their lives forever.
