The Great Wide Sea
By: M.H. Herlong
Genre YA Realistic fiction
Pages: 288
Published: 2008
Read: January
3.5 out of 5
This book started
out slow, but definitely picked up at the climax of story. Unfortunately and to
my great disappointment, the climax is revealed in any published summary of the
book. While a father and three sons are sailing the father disappears and the boys
have to survive by themselves. The characters are well developed and due to
that I felt much anger for the father and sympathy for the sons. The father is
extremely hard on his sons and expects a lot from them, especially after their
mother just died in a tragic car accident. If you like adventurous sailing
books, this is a great read. If you cry easily at books, be prepared.
