Customer Reviews

Great father and son story

This was a great father and son story. It is about a boy named Brian. Brian has to stay with his father in a small Florida town while his mother remarries. He is resentful and angry with his father - there are no close ties. Throughout the summer, Brian meets the neighbors, starts diving, and starts seeing his father in a new light. This is a feel good book - it leaves you with a great feeling.
