Another story of the Caribbean, and once again two wild Indians of youngsters buck the forces of nature, do incredible things, and come through. Not quite so fantastic a tale as Smuggler's Sloop, but there's just as good a storm and the story is just as fast paced, and the Dominica background is just as effective as in the earlier book (which won the Herald Tribune prize in 1937). Good selection for that problem boy who ""doesn't like to read"" -- or ""who will read only series' books"".
