Grady McKay hires a bodyguard to protect himself from Rodney Rathbone at all times. Meanwhile, at Odyssey 105, Cryin' Bryan Dern convinces his assistant, P. J., to sue people for frivolous actions.
Theme: Purity of motives
Grady lives with his mother and sister in Odyssey. Sometimes his mom has trouble making ends meet, but Grady always tries to help her in any way he can. Grady loves hanging out at Whit’s End and with mailman Wooton Bassett.
“Whit” is an inventor, author, entrepreneur and owner of Whit’s End—an ice cream shop and “discovery emporium” where kids can be kids. His wise counsel, inventiveness and insight have made him a trusted friend and confidant to everyone in Odyssey.
Rodney Rathbone is an only child, who proudly serves as the town bully and head of a gang called “The Bones of Rath.” He has become a fixture on the streets (and back alleys) of Odyssey. Whether he’s harassing kids, trying to con someone, or starting a rock band, Rodney keeps things lively through his humorous and willful defiance of common sense.
