Sometimes it's hard to be Milton P. Greene. He says all the wrong things, his family is falling apart, and everyone at school avoids him because of the super embarrassing Bird Brain Incident. But when Milton plays the video game Isle of Wild, he becomes someone else - Sea Hawk, the brave and brilliant naturalist explorer who conquers danger at every turn. Then Milton's parents ship off to the remote Lone Island for the summer, where his uncle Evan is an ecologist. The island is chock-full of spectaculous species, and Milton realises this is his chance to become the brave and brilliant naturalist he's always wanted to be - and even meet some fellow explorers! But as it turns out, the future of the Lone Island is in some pretty serious peril, and the only thing that can save it is a field guide full of cryptic clues. If Milton and his new friends are going to protect the island, they'll have to trust one another, find never-before-seen flora and fauna, and embark on a wild and wondrous adventure all their own.
