Kraken

Twelve-year-old Tom Piccot & his family struggle to maintain their home in a Newfoundland fishing village during the 1870s. Tom doesn't back away from challenges, whether from a merchant's son who will do anything to best him, or from the run of disasters that seem to plague his family. But beyond these conflicts, there is the kraken - a giant squid, larger than a whale, that looms throughout the story. Tom has already survived one brush with this monster of the deep & knows that one day he will meet the kraken again. Based on extensive research & firsthand accounts, The Kraken is a rousing tale of adventure & survival.Don C. Reed is the author of 'Kraken' with ISBN 9780606143486 and ISBN 0606143483.
