Jimmy Catfish - The Beginning and The End

by Bill Russo

Fogo (Fire) Island was burning and slowly being buried by creeping, molten lava.

St. Nicholas Island was desiccated and people were in excruciating agony, dying of thirst.

It was the 1950s and all ten of the islands in their archipelago were facing disasters as Cisco da Silva and Carlos Pires searched for a way to leave.

Their only way out was to sign on as crewmen aboard the last commercially operated three-masted schooner still making Atlantic crossings.

Misfortune eventually drove Cisco from the sea to a peaceful little island off the coast of Massachusetts.

...and that's when his troubles really began.

I really liked the characters, the plot and the author's writing style in this book. I immediately got immersed in the voyage of Captain Silva towards Cape Cod. In this book, Captain Francisco da Silva of the last three-masted sailing ship in America troubles started when he sailed for Cape Cod when his ship was almost wrecked. There he meets the amphibious boy that settles in the waters of Codfresh Lake called Jimmy Catfish. This book captivated my attention from the first few pages and I was left intrigued by what would happen next. I liked how the story unfolded and enjoyed the many interesting twists. This is a thrilling book and I loved it. This is certainly a must read!
