Middle Grade Novels
Dead in the Water
Simon “Spacey” Drake is determined to become a long-distance sailor. He signs up for a week-long live-aboard sailing course which takes him and three other students around northern Vancouver Island. Rough weather and sea sickness are bad enough, but the real trouble begins when Simon and another student stumble upon abalone poachers— men who are illegally harvesting a threatened species of shellfish. Unfortunately, the poachers have far too much at stake to ignore the teens’ discovery. Simon has always believed that the only person you can count on is yourself, but they will have to work as a team if they are to survive.
