MisGuided

Jack is back!

When 16-year-old busboy Jack sees his dreams of becoming a dockporter crash and burn, he ends up taking a job as the youngest guide at Fort Mackinac. But this isn't just any guide gig. Jack finds himself in the middle of a ragtag team of misfits who turn the fort into their own Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Their plan? It's bold, half-baked, and just might save the fort—or make them the laughingstock of history. They’re on a mission to uncover buried secrets, stop the Pizza King in 22 minutes or less, invade Beaver Island, uncover the truth behind “One-Shot” Shively, and most importantly, not get fired. Yeah, it’s another busy summer for Jack McGuinn.

Set against the backdrop of Michigan's iconic Mackinac Island, MisGuided is more than just a coming-of-age story—it's a dive into small-town life, where history isn't just talked about, it's made. Jack doesn't just recount the past; he’s living it, creating it, and sometimes rewriting it in the most unexpected ways.

If you loved seeing Jack stumble through his Hollywood summer in Somewhere in Crime or ride luggage for love in The Dockporter, then MisGuided fits right in the middle. The Dockporter was a Michigan Notable Book and both of the first two were best sellers. This new adventure blends history, comedy, and heartfelt moments in a way that only a summer on Mackinac Island can.

Join Jack and his quirky crew as they navigate another season of chaos and camaraderie. Get ready for a hilarious ride through one of Michigan's most beloved destinations. MisGuided promises laughs, intrigue, and a summer you won’t forget.
