Allen, Kate, 1977-
The line tender / Kate Allen. - New York : Dutton Books for Young Readers, 2019. - 384 pages ; 21 cm
Wherever the sharks led, Lucy Everhart's marine-biologist mother was sure to follow. In fact, she was on a boat far off the coast of Massachusetts, collecting shark data when she died suddenly. Lucy was 7. Since then Lucy and her father have kept their heads above water - thanks in large part to a few close friends and neighbours. On one steamy day, the tide brings a great white - and then another tragedy, cutting short a friendship everyone insists was 'meaningful' but no one can tell Lucy what it all meant. To survive the fresh wave of grief, Lucy must grab the line that connects her depressed father, a stubborn fisherman, and a curious old widower to her mother's unfinished research on the Great White's return to Cape Cod. If Lucy can find a way to help this unlikely quartet follow the sharks her mother loved, she'll be able to look beyond what she's lost and toward what's left to be discovered.
