Item Description
"Abalone Summer" by John Dowd
Twelve-year-old Jim Martin has become confused and self-destructive in the years since his father's death in a car crash. Hoping to turn things around, Mom arranges for him to spend the summer with George, a family friend, on a fishing boat at the Queen Charlotte Islands off the coast of British Columbia, along with the boat's owner, Andreas, and his 10-year-old daughter, Julia. Jim quickly learns about boating, kayaking, and scuba diving, and soon he and Julia are exploring the lush nearby islands on their own. They discover not only a hidden fishing boat whose owners are involved in abalone poaching, but also a shed filled with the frozen seafood. In a dramatic conclusion, they set a trap to capture the poachers, with assistance from the Coast Guard and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Dowd's attention to local color, superb knowledge of kayaking, and gripping sense of adventure are real strengths that will make this page-turner popular with young adventure fans.
