Cape Cod Surprise Oliver Matches Wits with Hurricane Carol

On the first night of a long-awaited sailing adventure, fever sends young Oliver back into the teeth of Hurricane Carol, a storm that devastated the New England coastline in 1954 The character we came to love in Oliver's Surprise finds himself anchored off Cape Cod aboard Cap'n Eli's schooner, the beloved "Surprise," as the storm makes landfall. His young companion, Greg Haverford, struggles to give up his modern electronics - because they don't exist yet!

Once again, young readers see New England coastal history through the eyes of our intrepid time traveler, who just might have to use the skills he learned during the Hurricane of 1938 to get them both back to their own time.

Along with maps, photos, glossary, history of the storm, diagrams and illustrations, Cronin has embedded a sailing primer in a ripping good yarn.

"You can smell the salt, hear the groan of the sails and feel the tiredness of Oliver's muscles--and as he's travelling through time, surviving hurricanes, and discovering his love of this way of life, he's also discovering himself. A wonderful book." ―Holly LeCraw, author of the The Swimming Pool

"I kept reaching for my lifejacket and pulling up my hood throughout this fast-paced narrative."―Gary Jobson, President US Sailing, ESPN "Voice of Sailing"
