| Abstract | "Almost-thirteen-year-old Junius Leak, expert on waterbodies and creator of the encyclopedic Amazing Waterbodies of the World, is altogether not that thrilled about going to stay with his Uncle Spot on his houseboat for twelve days. First of all, when Junius arrives at that rickety dock dangling over Lake Peigneur, he realizes that although he is an expert on waterbodies, he might not actually know them. Second of all, Junius is not an expert on unexpected change or disruption. But Uncle Spot is nothing like Junius expected - nor is Delcambre, Louisiana, the town where Junius himself was born. Caught up in a mystery involving pirates and buried treatsure, and a family feud more than a hundred years old, Junius has two objectives for the summer: find out why is mom left Delcambre when he was just a baby, and finally overcome his fear of water. But the Lake has another plan for Junius...Inspired by the real-life story of the Lake Peigneur oil-drilling accident of 1980, master storyteller Allan Wolf delivers a thrilling adventure with an ulikely and endearing hero at its heart"-- Front jacket flap. |
