Captain Jimmy Cook Discovers Third Grade tells the tale of Jimmy Cook, a boy who finds he has quite a lot in common with the explorer Captain James Cook. Convinced they are related, Jimmy is determined to complete Captain Cook's journey after learning about his unfortunate demise in Hawaii.

His parents might not share his enthusiasm, but Jimmy sees a way forward. His favourite cereal brand is hosting a competition with a first prize of a Hawaiian holiday. This is his perfect opportunity.
