Review

This book captured my attention right away. The boy in the book doesn't really believe that his dad is gone because they never found a body. Because of the uncertainty of his father's fate the book has an element of suspense to it. It's a great family story of a boy and his mother working hard and over coming many obstacles to save their way of life. The relationships that are presented in the story are very real and endearing. I highly recommend this book. It teaches the reader about the world of being a quahoger in Rhode Island.

Overall Book Score: excellent
