Taking place on the coast, Benny Shaw is on summer vacation at the lighthouse where his grandfather is the keeper. He soon makes himself some new friends, one of which is the tomboy, Babe Meara. Throughout the book we follow Benny, and sometimes Babe, as they hunt for fishing flies, weights and baits to resell. They make an enemy. Someone develops a crush. The rules are broken and the price is paid. Along with several other escapades are covered in this novel.
It is a wonderful story and was quite captivating although I didn't enjoy it as much as Benny and Omar. It was well worth the read and the space on my bookshelf. And even though the main character is a boy, I feel that it will speak to both boys and girls and offer the same enjoyment that I drew from this book.
