SUMMER NEVER ENDS! A Michigan Notable Books selection for 2021. It's the summer of 1989. Jack McGuinn is a dockporter, transporting tourists’ luggage piled high in his bike basket on Mackinac Island, Michigan, a tiny summer resort where cars are outlawed and pedal-power rules. He’s wired the season tight: a family cottage on the bluff, a dream job, and a loyal crew of hell-raising, tip-hustling buddies. When his old friend-turned-bitter rival challenges him to ride a record-setting load, he takes the bet and soon realizes he’s not just carrying suitcases; he’s carrying the future of the island, which is about to be paved over for profit. With the help of his pals on the dock and the love of a romantic, free-spirited Irish cellist named Erin, Jack digs deep to discover skills he didn't know he had. The Dockporter is an offbeat, nostalgic coming-of age-story that appeals to anyone who ever had a summer job. If Rushmore director Wes Anderson remade Caddyshack, but it emerged as a hybrid of Footloose and Meatballs (and was a book), it would be The Dockporter. Genre-smashing, hilariously fresh, yet refreshingly familiar, it's a novel about friends, family, love, luggage, and the summers we never forget.
