For ages 6-12 Fighting the rough waters, Jeremy hollered, "I can't hold onto the paddle any longer." The turbulent storm loosened his grip and away the paddle floated in the fast current. With rolling thunder overhead, Lake Angelus began whirling in a vortex. This is the story of two brothers who find themselves "lost at sea" without technology to guide them. With gale force winds and a rough current, Ben and Jeremy are held captive in their small craft on the open water. Threatening to capsize the boys' canoe, the Midwestern storm challenges their resolve. Equipped with only wooden paddles to propel themselves across the large swells, they must rely on their own instincts and each other to navigate their way.

Once a former Cape Cod rail trail, The Shining Sea Bikeway traverses the coastline from the center of Falmouth to the historic, seaside fishing village of Woods Hole. The bikeway was named for the line, 'From Sea to Shining Sea' in the patriotic poem, 'America the Beautiful' written by Falmouth native, Katharine Lee Bates. Join brothers, Ben and Jeremy on their coastal adventure as they cycle along salt marshes, barrier beaches and open water. Follow them as they find their own pathways; "Come on Ben, let's go off road and follow the inland trails," shouts Jeremy. Ride with them as they navigate the treacherous route out to Nobska Lighthouse. Their adventures continue from land to sea when they board their bicycles on the Steamship Authority with a destination to Martha's Vineyard. Once they disembark from the ferry, more cycling terrain awaits them on this offshore island.
