From Booklist
Gr. 7-10. Col McCann's family is notorious in its small Scottish town because both his father and his older brother, Mungo, have run afoul of the law. So when Col saves wealthy young Dominic Sampson from drowning, his heroism brings a new sort of fame to the McCanns and he is pleased by the unexpected positive attention. But why is Mungo so angry about Col's fame? Then Col has nightmares and remembers the terrifying things he glimpsed underwater while saving Dominic. He finds that his act of heroism has uncovered Mungo's dark secret. This is a fast-paced, exciting tale with lively characters and realistic family friction among both the wealthy Sampsons and the impoverished McCanns. Though obviously firmly rooted in Scotland, the situations and emotions are universal. Short sentences, spacious type, and an intriguing cover make this a natural for reluctant readers; but it is a cut above most reluctant reader fare, with ample character development and thought-provoking issues of loyalty and truth.
