One Storm Too Many

About the Book

Our fourteen-year-old Marnie Camden finds herself in something of an adventure simply because she picked up a shiny green bottle from the beach. In the past, she has recovered many objects from her beach, and this particular bottle is nothing exceptional . . . other than the fact that she has found a note inside. Somebody called Timothy is in trouble, it says. How old is this note? Should she do something about it? What could she possibly do anyway? In the meantime, the note writer is indeed in serious trouble. His family’s yacht has been hijacked in open water off the coast of British Columbia, and the smelly and sinking USS Rust Bucket has suddenly become their unwanted prison. Who are these dangerous thieves who have raided their boat? Do they intend to kill Timothy and his family? Can Marnie find Timothy? Whom could she get to help?

About the Author

Evan Brett spent most of his life on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. He grew up with the aboriginal people of the area and in the fishing industry. His later studies in anthropology at university led him to create stories of the region. This tale of adventure and romance is a more contemporary adaption of one he told to his own children as they were growing up.
