How do you make hurricanes boring? This snoozefest has a hurricane hitting Florida in the late 1940s, and yet the 11-year-old main character is more concerned about searching for sea shells. He's obsessed with earning money to help save his father's failing fishing career, pinning his hopes on a valuable shell or maybe that fishing contest with the big prize.
The only remarkable thing about this book is that comic book legend Jerry Robinson churned out the illustrations for it. Not a high-point in his career, for sure.

Very interesting book about real life in an earlier time, how children helped out and went to school by a different means than we have today.
