Ethan's family moves to a seaside town in Georgia to escape from trauma. Ethan's best friend, Kacey, is gone and Ethan blames himself (read the book for more on her and what actually happened). The family uproots itself, believing a new start will help Ethan. However, Ethan is still wracked with guilt, Grandfather doesn't seem to want the family there, and Ethan's older brother Roddie is holding a grudge. There's a mystery to be solved and a hurricane to survive, and ultimately Ethan makes a new friend, comes to terms with what happened to Kacey, and saves some endangered animals. It's a nice middle grade story that will appeal to readers who like emotional stories about friendships and hardships.
