SEACOAST BOOKS
JUST RELEASED. Kittery author Rod Philbrick does it again. The author of Freak
the Mighty and the Fire Pony creates another classic book for kids. This time
he focuses on his own #1 passion -- fishing.
This starkly dramatic yet poignant novel takes readers on an exciting journey
with 12-year-old Skiff Beaman, a determined boy from a small Maine town. Skiff's
mom died recently, and his fisherman dad won't get off the TV couch to do anything
but get another beer, so these days Skiff has to take care of everything himself.
When their boat sinks, Skiff discovers it will cost thousands to buy her a new
engine. Skiff's lobster traps won't earn him enough, but there are bigger fish
in the sea--bluefin tuna. If he can catch one, he just might save the boat--and
get his family back on its feet again.

Grade 5-8--A 12-year-old protagonist replaces Ernest Hemingway's elderly Santiago
in this takeoff on the classic novelette, set this time in coastal Maine. Skiff
has lost his mother and, since her death, his father, once a hardworking fisherman
locally known for his skills with a harpoon, has sunken into such deep, beer-soaked
despair that his son can't seem to rouse him off the couch. As Skiff tries to
single-handedly stem the rising tide of slovenly decay threatening to swamp what's
left of his family, he also must contend with Tyler Croft, a bullying rich kid
who sabotages his efforts to get ahead. Things seem entirely hopeless until the
day he sees a giant tuna hauled in from offshore and sold for a large sum as a
source for premium sushi. The fish literally and symbolically embodies all of
Skiff's ambitions for a better life, and he decides to try to catch one using
just a 10-foot plywood boat and a harpoon created by his father. As in The Old
Man and the Sea, the ensuing adventure is told through an inner dialogue, one
in which Skiff sometimes imagines he is speaking to his mother. This excellent
maritime bildungsroman has all of the makings of a juvenile classic: wide-open
adventure, heart-pounding suspense, and just the right amount of tear-jerking
pathos, all neatly wrapped up in an ending that--unlike its namesake's--is purely
triumphant. A great read-aloud, a natural for classroom use, and a must-have for
all collections.--Jeffrey Hastings, Highlander Way Middle School, Howell, MI
