Book excerpt: A nostalgic coming-of-age novel set in the summer of 1989 on Mackinac Island, Michigan, where cars are outlawed and bicycles dominate. Jack McGuinn, the protagonist, is a dockporter responsible for transporting tourists' luggage piled high on his bike. He enjoys a dream summer with his family cottage, an exciting job, and a close-knit group of wild, tip-chasing friends.However, Jack's idyllic summer takes a turn when his old friend-turned-rival challenges him to haul a record-setting load of luggage. The bet becomes more than just a test of strength-it symbolizes the future of Mackinac Island, which is on the verge of being transformed by commercial development. Jack must rise to the challenge, with the support of his pals on the dock and the love of Erin, a romantic Irish cellist, to protect the island's charm.This genre-bending novel blends humor, heart, and adventure, drawing comparisons to films like Footloose and Caddyshack. It's a story that resonates with anyone who has ever had a memorable summer job, capturing the essence of friendship, love, and the importance of preserving what matters.
