Editorial Reviews

A *Starred Selection* in Best Books for Kids & Teens

"Her latest book is compelling - the reader is gripped by the story, enthralled by the characters, and gratified by the way the story curls itself into a satisfying tale. And it is a tale of the sea, or more accurately, our local fresh waters of Lake Erie. It is an adventure-mystery with a little romance thrown into the journey of a boy's passage into young adulthood. Suspenseful to the end, the tale is riveting." The Kingsville Reporter
