About this book
Nearly seventeen, Alaric Dale Todd has grown up surrounded by money, tutors and anxious care. His family treats him as fragile, and his return to San Francisco after his mother's death leaves him lonely and restless. Kirk Munroe begins this adventure novel with a boy whose expensive upbringing has given him book knowledge but little experience of outdoor life. His longing for friendship and useful activity sets the emotional stakes.
The Northwest Coast supplies a world of boats, waterfronts and uncertain encounters. In the middle passage, Alaric and Bonny Brooks become entangled in a revenue cutter's search for witnesses connected with a captured smuggling vessel. A bag carrying someone else's name helps turn the search into a chase. Written for young readers, the story brings questions of confidence and independence into a coastal setting where practical skills matter as much as a comfortable background.
