The Brain #1

A young builder uses his birthday money to buy a boat-in-a-bottle kit, but when he and his friend can't fit the assembled ship inside the bottle, a series of increasingly wild schemes to solve the problem threaten to wreck the house.

Through quick thinking and teamwork, Kelly and friends navigate the chaos to save the day—and maybe even get that strudel finished.
