Driven from his home by the Ku Klux Klan and still reeling from the death of his mother, Nathan moves with his father and grandfather to the desolate Pea Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina to start a new life. Fortunately, life on Pea Island at the end of the 19th century is far from quiet. The other island residents include the surfmen--the African American crew of the nearby U.S. Life-Saving Station--and soon Nathan is lending an extra hand to these men as they rescue sailors from sinking ships. Working and learning alongside the courageous surfmen, Nathan begins to dream of becoming one himself. But the reality of post-Civil War racism starts to show itself as he gradually realizes the futility of his dream. And then another dream begins to take shape, one that Nathan refuses to let anyone take from him. From the Hardcover Library Binding edition.

the suspense in this book is so envigorating. When the Emma C. Cotton wrecked, the boy helped pull the surfboat to the wreck area and watched as the surfman followed their job. even though they didn't alert the oregon inlet surfman of the wreck, they still did their job right before the waves took the boat after the last man was taken ashore. then later on the boy realizes that his dream of becoming a surfman is pointless so he starts working with his father more often, showing that he wants to be a fisherman helper. the excitement of this book will keep you on your toes, and make you never want to put the book down! i read this book and i went 3 days straight during school reading it when i had time; because this book had plenty of excitement. later in the book the boy "nathan" is injured after disobeying Mr. Browser and jumping into the surfboat. the boy is catapulted from the surfboat and slams into the sea. then he is hit forcefully in the head by a blunt floating object. when he comes back to after the incident the first words he says are straight from a medical book! hows that for an enterance? well enough of me giving the book away. if you want to hear more, why not buy the book? it will keep you guessing, and it would take you a good 6 to 9 hours to read. enjoy.
