Summary:
A boy named Hercules calls his dad an ass at his dad’s funeral and his mom sends him to live with his uncle on his dad’s side for the rest of the summer (2 weeks). The uncle makes a list of 12 things for him to on the 12 days he’s there. This symbolizes the 12 tasks Hercules had to perform in the myth. Hercules sees and instantaneously falls in love with a beautiful girl on the train, and she leaves her book (Winnie the Pooh) on the train next to him. He makes it his mission to find her and return her book. Why a college girl is reading Winnie the Pooh is never explained, but you can kind of assume that it has some kind of personal significance. He returns the book and they hook up, but it turns out she was only with him because it’s her mission to sleep with celebrities, and Hercules’s dad was a …show more content…
Hercules kisses a girl from a pizza shop on the second day who saves his life from some dogs who were chasing him (and tipped a hole in the butt of his jeans). He goes back to her after Winnie the Pooh girl leaves him and they kiss again, but her cousin chases him all the way to the train he has to get in to get home. Somehow, the cousin ends up on the train and he doesn’t. He takes the next one and says a nice goodbye to the pizza girl who he hopes he’ll see again. All this time, he’s still wearing the same jeans (which he has duct taped because he is incompetent at sowing and his uncle doesn’t have sewing equipment because he’s a man and that somehow makes him too good to sew) and shirt he arrived in because he left his bag of stuff on the train when he was chasing the Winnie the Pooh girl to give her her book. In the end, he finishes all the tasks while he’s in Baltimore and goes back home. The final pages of the book are where he finally answers one of his mom’s calls which he’s been avoiding all week. This is somehow supposed to wrap
