Dark Water Rising

Seventeen year-old Seth didn’t want to move to Galveston in the first place. For him it was the end of a dream. All he ever wanted was to be a carpenter like his dad, but his dad wanted him to be a doctor. Seth’s family moved to Galveston in the summer of 1900 so that it would be possible for Seth to go to med-school when the time came. How could Seth convince his father that he wanted to build things with his hands? Some things about the move weren’t so bad-like the beach and the girl who lived by his cousin! Seth also had a summer job doing what he loved-helping build houses! Then, in September, the terrible storm came. Seth was separated from his family when the storm hit. Would he find them? Would they be O.K.? How will he ever put the terrible things he saw and smelled out of his mind? Will Seth be able to show his father he can be a good carpenter-if they all survive? To find out read Dark Water Rising by Marian Hale.
