Stormstruck! by John Macfarlane
When twelve-year-old Sam overhears his parents talking about their elderly and infirm Labrador retriever, Pogo, he s convinced they plan to have the dog put down. To save Pogo, Sam sets sail with the dog in a fourteen foot boat for an island off the coast of Maine. The elements conspire against them as they move from one danger to another: fog, near decapitation by a tugboat cable, a storm at sea, a lurking shark and the loss of their boat. Sam summons courage and ingenuity to meet each new challenge, helped along the way by Pogo s loyalty, a one-eyed cormorant, a retired ornithologist, and a lifetime of good nautical advice from his older brother. As he battles nature s fury, Sam is finally able to come to terms with what he has truly been running from: his brother s death in Afghanistan.
