(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Skiff raises Dad's sunken fishing boat, not realizing the cost of rebuilding the engine. Deciding to earn the money by catching just one big fish, Skiff ends up battling a nine-hundred-pound bluefin. This fast-paced novel offers an atmospheric Maine setting, a hero to root for, and, in Skiff's clipped voice, a touch of rough-hewn poetry.
