(3) YA Since her twin brother's drowning, sixteen-year-old Elsie's family has become nearly unrecognizable in its grief. Elsie retreats to the beach and there encounters bad boy Tay, who teaches her to free dive--an activity that engenders a sense of freedom but also prompts disturbing recollections. Evocative scenes of underwater exploration are as memorable as the examination of loss in this strong debut.
