This coming-of-age tale centers around a group of boys, primarily featuring Ned Cooke, who embark on an adventurous journey during their summer on the Carolina coast. The narrative explores themes of friendship, nature, and the trials of youth amidst the robust backdrop of seaside life. At the start of the story, Ned and his friends arrive at Bluffton for what they expect to be a summer filled with fun and exploration. They are greeted by the affectionate and humorous Maum Sally while they revel in the joys of coastal living. However, their adventures take a turn when they learn that Ned's uncle and aunt are away, leaving the boys in charge of themselves. The boys quickly decide to embrace their freedom, leading to plans for sailing and exploring nearby islands, while their carefree days are colored by the blend of childish enthusiasm and the uncanny realities of their environment. Their initial light-hearted exploits evolve into more serious challenges, including the wreck of their boat, the loss of supplies, and the need to adapt to their unfolding situation.
