Jimi and Isaac think they're going on a boat ride. A simple vacation with Jimi's uncle Tim. But hanging around with Uncle Tim is rarely simple. They soon find out that Tim's ideas about boating and environmentalism are not what they're used to. Luckily, Tim's girlfriend Mary knows that Tim is a mess, and she makes sure the boys learn what they need to know about boats, boating, and responsibility. When Tim's poor planning produces poor results, the boys have to save well, everything. The best way to learn is by doing. Looks like the boys will learn a lot...if they want to get home.

AWARD-WINNING Jimi and Isaac Books are focused books for focused kids. They can be read in any order. Pick a first book that matches the kid's interests, and then that kid will trust Jimi and Isaac enough to follow them into another area in another book.

In every book, a problem presents itself and the kids need to learn and work to solve the problem. They fail constantly, struggle to recover, and success is often a less limited failure. The books are short and fast moving so more readers can succeed, but they are not simple books. They're full of information and intellectual challenges.
