I enjoyed this book very much. Being an adult was surprised to see it was listed as a children's book. It was riveting with suspense and family relationships. A book you can not put down .

Great book, especially for middle school boys. Lots of action and you cannot easily predict the outcome.

I'm always searching for new books for my students. This is one of the best young adult books I've read in ages. It's about 3 brothers who suddenly lose their mother. Because of his overwhelming grief, the father decides that he and the boys will spend a year sailing the Bahamas. But the story is full of adventure. The father disappears, a large storm ensues, and they are shipwrecked.

It's full of action and I quickly became attached to the three brothers. Their relationship is charming. Definitely a "boy book", but I know girls will enjoy it too.
