Liam is determined to win the annual Boy Scout charity race—and take home the awesome jackknife prize. But standing in his way is Danny, the club bully who wants the victory just as badly. The competition heats up fast, pushing Liam to stay focused, stay determined, and learn what it truly means to try his best.
After the race, the Boy Scouts and Vet Kids Club gather at Liam’s family horse farm for their yearly bonfire and BBQ.

The tale sparks excitement in Mia and Liam, especially since their family vacation to the U.P. is only weeks away. Little do they know, the legend of the Spirit Bear will soon become the heart of an unforgettable mystery on Mackinac Island—one filled with adventure, family moments, and the magic of Michigan’s most iconic destination.
This Vet Kids Club chapter book blends friendship, outdoor fun, animal themes, and Michigan adventure—perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love wholesome mysteries with heart.
