is a junior in high school. When her dad dies, her grandfather has an idea
they can make it as sponge divers. The summer proves interesting as Spyros
Stavaronas, captain of a successful shrimp boat, wines and dines her on
the high seas. What does he really want, and why does the new sponge buyer,
Kanarsis, pay them twice as much as other buyers for their haul? Things
get harder to sort out when her sister gets engaged to Spyros. The danger
isn't all underwater. |
