The story of this book is so exciting! I was moved by Harvey's gradual growth from a spoiled boy to a brave young man. Moreover, the author's description is very delicate. I seemed to be able to feel the changing sea surface and Harvey's mood. This reminds me of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", which is also a boy's adventure story, full of courage and growth. I think everyone can find something of themselves in Harvey's experience. This is a book worth reading!
