Blurb:
For Corbett Griffith III, divorce and two busy parents mean goodbye city life, hello great outdoors. With their busy Chicago careers and schedules, his parents just don’t seem to have any time for him. When his mother sends him to his uncle’s Wisconsin fishing resort for the summer, Corbett feels that there’s no one pulling for him or caring what happens to him.
But all of that changes at Whispering Pines Lodge, Corbett learns he is never really alone, thanks to his Uncle Dell, who takes care of him, and his new friend Pike, who pulls him into one mischievous adventure after another. It’s a summer of change for ten-year-old Corbett-even his name changes, when a cute girl calls him “Griffy,” a nickname he likes enough to keep.
When Griffy catches two elusive walleyes, he is surprised to discover how much he likes fishing. Eager to test his newfound skills, he and Pike are stunned to hear that a seventy-pound muskie is on the loose. They resolve to catch the ferocious fish, no matter what. For Pike catching a world record muskie would be about the sport. For Griffy it would be about something more. Maybe, just maybe, if he caught that fish is parents would take notice.
Think alligator. Think prehistoric beast. Think mean.
Will they be able to catch the muskie and stop it from attacking anyone or anything?

My Review:
What a great story. I love that it is about Wisconsin and the town is just like a small town way up North! Poor Corbett Griffith III is being sent from Chicago to a small town in Northern Wisconsin to help an Uncle. No TV and no internet what is he going to do? Uncle Dell is going to have Corbett and a neighbor boy help him out with his lodge during the summer. Corbett feels invisible at home because his parents are divorced and no one has time for him. He ends up meeting Pike the neighbor boy and they get into a few adventures. One adventure is entering a fishing contest trying to catch a 70 pound Muskie. You will want to read Muskie Attack to find out what happens. I am sure you will enjoy this story as much as I did.
