But when Bert and Meg arrive home on their last day of school, they discover something amazing in their living room-a boat! While their dad tries to fix the motor in his shop, Bert and Meg discover something incredible: the boat transports them back 125 years to visit their great-great-grandfather's cabin. There, they are welcomed by a boy, Frank, his mother, Sarah, and their dog, Shiver.

Along the way, Bert and Meg learn some family traditions, which they carry back with them to the future, creating an unforgettable bond between generations....
