This book is about a boy named Robbie who tries to get a job as a fisherman. He has always wanted to be a fisherman. He thinks he is happy when he becomes a fisherman, but as he works for a man named Tor, Robbie discovers that Tor has more of an intention than catching fish. Robbie discovers that Tor is trying to find a very valuable plaque. Robbie is dragged out farther to sea, and learns that he will have to face a violent storm, that will test his courage to try to save somebody's life and risk his life at the same time.

Opinion: 

This book was PRETTY good. I liked the character,Robbie the most because he has a lot of courage to try to save somebody in a violent storm at sea. Robbie's character was developed o.k. but it did not show how he felt during the storm when he might have lost his life and when he was trying to save someone else. I did not like Tor's character because he never seemed like he was in a good mood that much. He also did not show his pride for catching fish and he did not show his gratefulness when Robbie tried to help him. The book could have been improved if it had more of a point than catching fish, and if they got stranded on an island or something,it would be more interesting. It needs more of a background,kind of. I would recommend this book to people who like stories about fishing and being stranded at sea. This book would of also been more interesting if it was more about being stuck at sea.
