- Summary:
- An eleven-year-old orphan goes to a new foster home on an island off the coast of Maine, wondering why the islanders want so many foster children at once, and determined not to like the lobstermens' way of life as he is sure that this home, also, is one in which he will not be able to stay permanently.
