Monster of Farallon Islands

by Lane Walker

The 25-foot shadow passed under the boat, revealing it was a giant, great white shark! Casey James, a fishing obsessed 14-year-old, loved any time he got to spend aboard the Orca II, his dad’s charter fishing boat. The beautiful coastal waters just south of San Francisco provided great fishing and adventure on every trip, especially when venturing to the Farallon Islands. Each fall, the waters surrounding the Farallon Islands become populated with one of the most powerful and largest of animals, the great white shark. These sharks are extremely aggressive and hold the interest of many, especially Casey. A late October fishing trip took an unexpected turn when the Orca II received an emergency SOS from the S.S. Atlantis. They rescued the crew just before the huge freighter sank to the dark depths of the Pacific. As the ship went down, a mystery began to surface. A long-protected secret... Casey discovers that the dazzling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean hold a deep secret from the past. A 25-foot giant, great white shark and a surfing competition with a $500,000 grand prize just add to the chaos and mystery of the Monster of Farallon Island! A shipwreck, a greedy billionaire, and a record-sized great white shark are about to invade Casey’s life. Who or what will survive? Can man and beast coexist in the Pacific Ocean?

Monster of Farallon Islands Lane Walker
What happened in the book is kinda interesting. Casey James is 14 years old and loves fishing on his dad's boat the Orca ll. Casey and his dad love fishing along the farallon islands. Then they find a ship calling to them that is about to be capsized. The town saves the people but cant understand them.That's what happens in the first few chapters. There is a 500,000 dollar prize for a surfing challenge but they are afraid that the monster will be dangerous. So they try to tag it
With a tracker. They tagged it and now when ever it breaks surface it pings on a computer.
The author is Lane Walker and he is very good at getting little details in the story. He is a very good author at the simplest level. I encourage you to read books about lane walker. Lane is also good at making country books wich i love because i love fishing, hunting and live out in the country. It also helps the reader when he describe little things.
I would give this book a great rating because I love it so much. He explains it like no other author and is the best at writing short country books.The cool thing about this book is it's in a series of books. So you can read a lot more books by Lane Walker. I encourage you to read this book. I would give it a 9/10.
