Dead in the Water
About this ebook
The trip gets off to a rough start, but the real trouble begins when Simon and Olivia, another student, get curious about a nearby cabin cruiser in an anchorage. They investigate and stumble upon an abalone poaching operation, but the poachers have far too much at stake to let a couple of kids get in their way. Simon has always believed that the only person you can count on is yourself, but when he and Olivia find their lives in danger, he knows they will have to work with the rest of the crew if they are to survive.

About the author
A few years ago, Robin Stevenson bought a thirty-foot sailboat called Tara, fixed it up and left Lake Ontario with a plan to sail to the Bahamas. Despite knowing very little about sailing, she arrived safely in the islands a few months later. She spent a year living aboard her sailboat and is now ashore in Victoria, British Columbia. Robin is the author of several books for children and young adults.
