Just after orphan Tom, thirteen, comes to live with a couple on a small island off Newfoundland in 1929, he rescues a dog that's swimming in the sea. In addition to a vividly realized setting and a goodly salting of local terms, Harlow holds attention by giving Tom and his dog numerous opportunities for heroism in this companion to Star of the Storm.
