Staff Pick of the Week: The Great Wide Sea

This week's book pick is The Great Wide Sea by M.H. Herlong.

Ben's mother was killed in a car accident a few months ago, and ever since nothing has been right. Now Ben can't believe what his father has done - he's sold their house and announced that he, Ben, and Ben's two little brothers will sail around the Bahamas for the next year. Ben is furious, and the lack of space on the boat is making everything worse. And then Ben wakes up one morning to find his father gone and a storm on its way. He and his brothers are lost, and as far as they can tell, no help will be on its way anytime soon.
