So the vacation isn’t starting off the way he, Davey, is hoping or imagining it would. Even though they are in “paradise,” Davey is stuck in a room with his parents and younger, obnoxious brother and, well, the room is getting pretty funky. So why not just slip out with his book and get some reading in while the rest of the family sleeps on? It sounds like a good idea, but even that early in the morning, there are people wandering around the resort. So Davey keeps going untill have finds a little alcove with a beautiful beach. It has a no swimming sign posted, but the water is calm and shallow, and so warm that Davey puts his things under a bush and decides to wade in a bit. He doesn’t realize that the ocean has other plans for him and he gets taken out in a rip current before he even realizes what has happened to him.Recommended for grades 6th and up.
