They have a shack where they talk about their dreams, a platform in a high tree that is very scary on windy days and they find lumber at an abandoned saw mill that they use to build a sailboat.Jack also "falls in love" with a spirited girl named Alison, learns to ski the expert runs, works hard to succeed at baseball and rescues his friend Davie from a flash flood!What Jack discovers about himself through his adventures gives him the confidence that he will succeed in life.At the end of the summer Jack and his mother climb Mt. Shasta together. At the summit, Jack realizes that his whole life is there before him and that he will have his own stories to tell.
