(2) 4-6 Pampered and innocent, fourteen-year-old Benjamin Franklin Orvell is kidnapped by a crew of oyster dredgers. He fears for his life from his abductors as well as from the backbreaking work and harsh weather. With all of society's veneer removed, he discovers just how far he'll go to survive. A finely crafted coming-of-age story that, despite its 1868 Chesapeake Bay setting, feels timeless.
