Their dinghy is slowing losing air and sinking lower and lower into the water. To lighten the load they try to drop the useless outboard motor over the side but two of them end up injured. Regan, his sister, Carol and their cousin Matt are on vacation with their families, sailing around St. Vincent and the Grenadines, but now these three who aren’t the best of friends, must work together to survive until rescue can come.
Aimed at kids around the age of 10 - 12, the author delivers a taunt, exciting story that shows how each of the three kids had their own strengths and weaknesses and how working together enabled them to survive. While a little light for an adult, I can see this would be an exciting reading for younger readers. ( )
