Annotation:
When his grief-stricken father uproots the family, selling everything and forcing them to live on a sailboat the year after his mother dies, 15-year-old Ben is angry and resentful. Cruising around the Bahamas with his brothers and father, he makes the best of it. But when their father disappears overboard one night, the boys must put aside their sadness and struggle to simply survive. A story of endurance, troubled family relationships, and great adventure, this is compelling young adult fare.
