While on a sightseeing tour, fourteen-year-old Will falls into the Mississippi and finds himself stranded on an island inhabited by giant ferrets and a reclusive author who's training the ferrets to be eco-terrorists. Throughout, Jennings treats readers to eccentric characters, multiple coincidences, and outrageous wordplay. The story was first published serially in the Kansas City Star.
