David Bernstein’s deeply rooted love for the coast of South Carolina, strong moral principles, and his ability to write from a middle grade perspective add layers of complexity to this coming of age novel about a young boy’s first foray into romance, making it a knockout debut novel for readers of all ages.

When ten-year-old Peter arrives at the beach for his week-long vacation, he pretty much knows what to expect. After all, his family has been coming to Pawleys Island for as long as any of them remember, so he quickly settles into their normal routine. But that routine is shattered in a flash when he witnesses a brutal fight in the middle of his first night there. Before he knows it, Peter is swept into a wild adventure that will test everything he thought he knew about this tiny coastal town as he races to discover who caused the fight . . . before the bad guy strikes again!
