What is The grand, genius summer of Henry Hoobler about?

Henry Hoobler is dreading his summer holiday. Camping by the beach means bugs, spiders, snakes, blue-ringed octopuses and sharks—and his family expects him to ride his new silver bike without training wheels. Henry keeps waiting to feel completely brave, but courage does not arrive as neatly as he hopes. Then he meets Cassie, a fearless and honest new friend who helps him see that being brave can mean trying while still feeling worried.
