It's the summer of 1944, and the war feels a world away from Desmond Cay—a scattering of docks and clapboard houses tucked into Florida's wild, mangrove-tangled Ten Thousand Islands. Fifteen-year-old David MacKenzie and his friends, the sharp-eyed Seminole Bill Talltree and the fearless, freckled Laury Michel, spend their days poling skiffs through hidden channels, hunting for a legendary hunter's lost cabin, and daring each other to take the next impossible rifle shot.
Then the war arrives anyway—in the form of a crippled German U-boat, driven into their harbor by a hurricane bearing down from the Gulf. As the storm closes in and a tense, uneasy standoff unfolds between the townspeople and the stranded crew, David and his friends find themselves facing choices that call for more courage than any of them knew they had.
Alive with the sounds, smells, and dangers of the Gulf Coast wilderness, Desmond Cay is a coming-of-age adventure about friendship, bravery, and growing up fast when history comes ashore. Written later in life by a father, husband, and Navy veteran, it's a story steeped in real memory—and a voyage young listeners won't forget.
