Calvin Coconut: Man Trip
Description
Calvin and his Mom's boyfriend, Ledward, are good friends. When Ledward wins plane tickets, he invites Calvin to go on a man trip—they'll fly to Hawaii, the Big Island, for a day, and go deep-sea fishing. Calvin, who has never been on a plane or any boat but his skiff, catches his first big fish, an ono. However, the excitement intensifies when Ledward hooks a huge and very angry marlin that charges the boat. The experience opens Calvin's eyes to adventure and important ideas about respecting nature.
