This collection of contemporary and historical pieces of both fiction and nonfiction all depend on or illustrate their California coastal setting. Rich and diverse, the book includes a story about surfing with sharks, a Gold Rush-era tale, and poems translated from both Spanish and Cantonese. Teachers will find this a valuable resource, although it works equally well for browsing. Bib.
