Beaman急切賺錢，他拿著“借來的”魚叉，指南針，花生醬三明治做的魚餌，乘著自己的小，追逐在近海30英里中發現的珍貴藍鰭金槍魚。他隻身在大霧中的海上和魚搏鬥，燃料用盡，只能划船回到岸上，這是場不可能又艱辛的挑戰，透過這趟旅程喚醒了他的父親，決定振作與Beaman展開新生活。
孩子的潛能無窮，絕境奮起的力量，如乘風破浪捲起的滔滔浪花，超乎大人的想像。 


A story of determination and survival from the acclaimed author of FREAK THE MIGHTY. "This thrilling and elegant book ... will hold the interest of even the most stalwart landlubber." -- PW Twelve-year-old Skiff Beaman's mom just died, and his fisherman dad is too depressed to drag himself off the couch and go to work. So these days Skiff has to take care of everything himself.

But when his dad's boat sinks, Skiff discovers it will cost thousands to buy a new engine. Skiff's lobster traps won't earn him enough, but there are bigger fish in the sea -- bluefin tuna. If he can catch one of those monster fish, Skiff just might save the boat -- and his family.
