Hoot Owl Hollow

Thirteen-year-old Jay West is happy living in the city and doing as much of nothing as he can. His young life consists mostly of riding his bike reading comic books hanging out with his friends and occasionally working a part time job as a paper route substitute what he hates. His mother who is not impressed with Jay's lifestyle arranges for him to spend a summer with his two elderly great uncles up north. Resistant at first Jay begrudgingly agrees to try it and see what it would be like. His Uncles' place named Hoot Owl Hollow is located on Lake Muckawini and near the small town of Wakanda Wisconsin. Initially very skeptical and unimpressed with some of the primitive facilities Jay quickly meets a number of interesting characters makes new friends and experiences a number of new and unique experiences in the great outdoors. Young Jay ends up spending two summers at Hoot Owl Hollow having some fun and learning about nature fishing and a little bit about life itself.
