A dhow, an open wooden boat about the same length as ours, is motoring alongside, thudding into our hull. From the edge of the sun, another boat hurtles toward us. I sense the gunfire more than hear it. Duncan is yelling at Mom, "Those are warning shots. Cut the engine They won't hurt us if we cooperate." Fourteen-year-old Libby didn't want to go on a year long sailing adventure with her mother and her stepfather, Duncan, and she isn't about to let them forget it. Traveling through the Red Sea, Libby causes them to be late and make a dangerous crossing alone. When modern-day pirates attack, Duncan is killed and Libby's mother is left seriously injured and unconscious. Libby is left alone on a crippled boat to find safety and help for her mother. Libby must call on all her strength and face some hard truths about herself if she is to survive and reach land. A thrilling tale of one girl's struggle for survival against the elements and her inner demons, Red Sea is adventure writing at its best. Diane Tullson spent over a year traveling the same waters as Libby does in Red Sea. While not attacked by pirates, Diane and her family lived with the knowledge that the danger was real and they were a long way from home. Diane is also the author of Saving Jasey (Orca, 2002).
