Harvard, his younger brother, and his dad move to Maine for the summer, where they start an ant farm with their neighbor Neveah and learn about ants, each other, and how to forgive yourself when things do not go as planned.

Harvard is used to his father coming home from the hospital and telling him about all the babies he helped. But since he made the mistake at work, Dad has been quieter than usual. And now he's taking Harvard and his little brother, Roger, to Kettle Hole, Maine, for the summer. In the small town where he grew up, Dad seems more like himself. Especially once the family decides to start an ant farm -- just like Dad had as a kid! When the mail-order ants fail to survive the trip, though, Harvard doesn't want Dad to experience anymore sadness. Luckily, he and his new friend Nevaeh had the brilliant idea to replace them with the ants crawling around the kitchen instead. But these insects don't come with directions. So the kids have a lot to learn -- about the ants, each other, and how to forgive when things go wrong.
