This book is a great story that addresses typical teenage issues and confronts the complexities of race and culture as teen themselves understand the world. A great read for a teacher/student studying marine culture or island life. The book is out of print-unfortunately. I would not pay more than $1.50-2.00 for this novel as most of the copies have been sitting on library shelves(the copies I ordered had a library tag) for many years not realizing it is a best kept secret of our time by an excellent author. Some of the content is edgy -would not use with 7th grade or under. Since it is out of print- it will not come back to the mass market ...so at best it is a great classroom read aloud for middle schoolers or for your classroom library-or summer reading list- it definitely will keep your students attentive and cause them to confront their own issues as teenagers growing up in a new era.
