"Steeped in atmosphere and rich in detail, this adventure captures the
salt in the air as well as the omnipresent ticking deadline." --
Publishers Weekly
When his dad goes missing in a fishing-boat accident, fourteen-year-old
Jake refuses to think he may have lost his father forever. But forever
or not, it's up to Jake to pay the loan sharks threatening to repossess
his family's diner. Scrabbling out a living as a quahogger isn't easy in
Narragansett Bay, but with the help of some local clammers, Jake's
determination and hard work may just be enough to save the family
business.
