Pre-Owned The White Boats (Paperback) 9780998066400

The White Boats is a rousing tale of daring adventure and harrowing survival on the open ocean with echoes of The Old Man and the Sea updated with a contemporary environmental theme. The White Boats tells the story of a young boy named Cesar who like Hemingway s title character Santiago dreams of catching a big marlin and ventures far out to sea in a tiny skiff to pursue his trophy fish. Unlike Santiago Cesar must overcome a very different obstacle a humpback whale entangled in plastic debris that he will risk life and limb to save. The White Boats contains elements of magical realism and will strike a deep resonant chord with readers of environmental fiction. Contributor: Mark Marinovich
