A parent would reach for this book when their middle schooler is struggling to reconcile the two different worlds created by a divorce, especially if there is tension or a lack of communication between parents. It is a powerful choice for a child who feels caught in the middle or who is searching for their own identity outside of their family's conflict. Set against the rugged backdrop of an Alaskan commercial fishing season, the story follows thirteen-year-old Zoey as she spends a summer with her father. It captures the raw emotions of resentment, the fear of losing a parent's attention, and the ultimate realization that her own strength is not defined by her parents' choices. The book is emotionally honest and perfectly suited for the 10 to 14 age range, providing a mirror for kids navigating complex family dynamics while offering a thrilling survival adventure.
