Age range 9 to 12Grace Minnaugh is an eleven-year-old with a flippy-floppy double life. Grace Minnaugh is not a fan of big changes. She' s miserable during her first weeks in the seaside town of La Toya, sulking like a spoiled brat. Her family embraces the California lifestyle and Grace decides to embrace the seductive beauty of the sea. One fateful morning, while taking a predawn swim, she is caught in a thunderstorm. Without the ocean skills to survive, she' s sucked below the surface, convinced she will drown. Instead, a new life begins. On land, Grace is still the same walking, talking social misfit she' s always been. But in the salty sea, she' s an underwater marvel. Things get complicated when Grace befriends Alfie DeCosta, a kid who' s obsessed with finding an elusive shipwreck off the coast of La Toya. Grace knows exactly where the shipwreck is. But she can' t tell Alfie about it, or can she?
The daughter of a Merchant Marine and a Rockaway beach babe, Alice Kaltman' s life has always been ocean-centric. She is the author of Wavehouse and the short fiction collection Staggerwing. She splits her time between Brooklyn and Montauk, New York where she swims, surfs, and writes--weather and waves permitting.
