Tom has a special pet, a little wild black duck called Squeak Toy. When the family has to move from their farm to a house far away, no pets are allowed, and Squeak Toy is left behind.

It is spring 1929, and Prohibition is in full swing. So when Ruben and Jeddy find a dead body washed up on the shore of their small coastal Rhode Island town, they are sure it has something to do with smuggling liquor.
