One 10-year old kid. One old and wily mega-sized shark the natives respectfully call “Big Joe.” Now the two are headed for a showdown duel —and someone’s going to lose.
There’s nine kids on a lonely, dilapidated dock at a remote Caribbean island. Add one toothy, nightmarish monster-fish lurking below. It’s a recipe for disaster, and there’s only one solution. But will someone have to pay the price first?
Want to know more about this book?
It's the 1960's, and there's three major battles going on, or so it seems: NASA is in a race for the moon; The Beach Boys are trying to top the charts; and the Boat Kid is busy battling the perils of the sea, navigating relationships, and dealing with life in general. Facing up to fears, through both disappointments and triumphs, the value of things such as teamwork, trust, and friendships stand tall in the end. Similar in style to the TV show "The Wonder Years," there are fourteen short, true stories; both serious and humorous. What is the meaning behind an old, worn-out photo he comes across? Find out in "The Photograph." Things are not always as they seem, as strange twists and mystery abound in "Mudslinger’s Monument." Plus others such as "Eye of the Shark" "The Best Little Fisherman" "Friends of Merritt," "Lost in the Tar," "Silver Overboard," "What in the World was That?"—and 6 more. Bonus parts explain things about life on the water, such as "A Tale of Two Compasses," "Radio City," "The Dog Rag," and many more. Because life's not easy when you're growing up—especially if you're a boat kid. With illustrations. for ages 9-90
