Had an interesting storyline taking place in Jamaica, and great glimpse of two different character's perspectives in the book. However, it was hard to get through the dialect used in the book. The sensory details made the book come to life though. Dealt with topics of poverty, hunger, following in your family's footsteps, and overcoming hardships. Would be good for students in 5th-8th grade. (

'd heard about this book via Porter Square Books' mailing list, it's by a Jamaican author and all the dialogue is in Patois. It's about a young boy who's grandfather goes missing while on a fishing trip, and how he doesn't give up on finding him. Lloyd stows away on a boat, visits dangerous people, dodges his parents and learns some hard truths about what people are doing to make money in Kingston. I'd thought it might be something to pass on to my nephew's but it's a book that tackles grown up topics despite the innocence of the protagonist. (
