(2) YA When Chance Taylor is offered a suspicious job--retrieving hidden packages and stashing them away for later pickup--the high school senior doesn't ask many questions. He views the two-hundred-dollar-a week salary as a means to pay the mooring fees for the sailboat where he and his alcoholic, chronically unemployed father live. Narrator Chance is an empathetic central character in this fast-paced and suspenseful novel.
