Most teenage boys would love to spend a summer with a bachelor uncle
in a seaside cabin. But not Jonah Lander.
He has secrets--lots of them--and they weigh heavily on his mind. One
deception leads to another, and he lies to his Uncle Nate about joining
the local swim team, not wanting to explain his fear of the dark salt
water.
When Sumi, a budding marine biologist, asks him to be her research
assistant, he jumps at the chance to make some money. But he gets into a
lot more than he bargained for. Soon he will have to face his greatest
fears and give up his secrets forever.
Bulion's satisfying novel is further enhanced by a rich ensemble of
supporting characters, interesting facts about marine life, and a text
that perfectly captures the special rhythms of small town seaside
living.
