Abstract
The tiny community of Deeper Harbour is in trouble-and so is young Roland MacTavish. Roland's mom wants to move with him to Ottawa, away from his father, his weird friend Dulsie, and his even weirder grandfather. So Roland does what any sane teenager would do: he invents a sea monster. Unfortunately, the plan quickly spins out of control, and he has to go to greater and greater lengths to keep up the illusion. Then Roland must deal with a situation far more terrifying than any sea monster. Steve Vernon's portrait of Roland and Deeper Harbour is perfect for anyone who's ever been stuck badly enough to do something heroically stupid
