Undertow is a young adult novel written by Kathleen Norris. The story is set in a small coastal town in Maine, where the arrival of a mysterious family of sea creatures called the Alpha creates a rift between the townspeople and the newcomers. The Alpha are powerful and beautiful, but their presence causes fear and suspicion among the humans. The novel follows the story of Lyric Walker, a teenage girl who is half-human and half-Alpha, and her struggle to find her place in a world that rejects her. Lyric is torn between her loyalty to her human family and her desire to connect with her Alpha roots. As tensions rise between the two communities, Lyric must navigate the dangerous waters of prejudice and discrimination to uncover the truth about her past and the fate of her people. Undertow is a captivating tale of identity, belonging, and the power of acceptance. It is a must-read for fans of young adult fiction and fantasy.But Bert had his own ideas. When Nancy met him down town a day or two later, to go pick the coat, she found him quite unmanageable. He said that there was no hurry about the coat--they were right here in the housekeeping things, why not look at fireless cookers? In the end they bought an ice-cream freezer, and a fireless cooker, and two pairs of arctic overshoes, and an enormous oval- shaped basket upon which the blushing Nancy dropped a surreptitious kiss when the saleswoman was not looking, and a warm blue sweater for Nancy, and, quite incidentally, an eighteen- dollar overcoat for Bert.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
