Thirteen-year-old Mikey is living his dream as a deckhand on a Hawaiian charter boat, learning from his stepdad, Bill. But when clients Ernie and Cal seek the adventure of a lifetime, Mikey must navigate treacherous seas and unpredictable fish.

Join Mikey on a thrilling journey where the stakes are high, and the ocean holds secrets that test his courage and skill.
From the publisher
Fishing. This is it, the big time. Mikey’s 13, a deckhand working on a charter boat in Hawaii. Working for the best skipper anywhere, his stepdad, Bill. Before Bill came along, it was just Mikey and his mom. Now they’re a real family, and Mikey has a little brother. He can’t believe how lucky he is. And now he’s learning from the best, even though he’s only 13. Because Bill believes in him. And Mikey won’t let him down. He loves fishing and being out on the boat. But some seas, some fish, and some charter clients are a lot tougher to handle than Mikey ever imagined. Take Ernie and Cal–they chartered Bill’s boat for three days and they’re out for the adventure of their lives. Now it’s up to Mikey and Bill to deliver it.
