Bestseller Luanne Rice returns with a novel as timeless as the sea on which it's set.

From the beloved New York Times bestselling Luanne Rice comes a heartwarming yet heart-wrenching portrait of three far-flung sisters who come home to Martha's Vineyard one last time. Their mother's beach house is the only place any of them ever found true happiness and they need to begin the difficult process of letting go. Memories of their grandmother, mother, and their Irish father, who sailed away the year Dar turned twelve, rise up and expose the fine cracks in their family myth-especially when a cache of old letters reveals enough truth to send them back to their ancestral homeland.

Transplanted into the unfamiliar, each sister sees life, her heart, and her relationship to home in a new way. But how do they let go of a place that contains the complicated love of their imperfect family? Without the house, where will they be together?

The novel is a season on Martha's Vineyard; a mission to Ireland; a cast of friends, including one wildly off-the-grid Zen genius; passionate love in the surf; and three very different sisters with lives filled with beauty, sorrow, and deep love they'd never been quite sure they could trust. The Silver Boat is Luanne Rice at her very best, complete with her singular talent for capturing a family in all its flawed complexity.

"There once was a boy who lived close to the sea

And daydreamed all day about what he might be.

His island was lush and his life wasn't bad,

But he wasn't content with the things that he had."



Despite his idyllic island life, young Bob yearns for a greater sense of purpose. He recognizes that his life doesn't have direction, so he decides to set out on an adventure and seek out advice from the sea creatures.



Bob encounters a carefree dolphin Al, who teaches Bob to appreciate every minute he has available and directs him to the wise turtle Doc, who can help him find his purpose in life. Doc encourages Bob to find his passion, the things that excite him, and jump into those things.



What is my purpose? What will make me content?



In sparkling, rhyming text, Bob discovers his passion is to protect all life in the sea, and sets off on an adventure to pursue that passion.



Every child will love the gorgeous illustrations and inspiring story of Blue Ocean Bob, whose magical sea journeys with dolphins, turtles, and a special hummingbird will teach them to have a "can do attitude" and learn to look at every problem from a new direction until the solution is revealed.



This children's picture book engages just one of the concepts - purpose - expounded on in the full Blue Ocean Bob chapter book series.



Readers of Blue Ocean Bob Discovers His Purpose "loved the rhyming couplets" and "think a few of us adults could stand to learn the lessons held within, too." They praise the "delightful stories and the simple but profound principles they reveal" that "empower children to cultivate proactive attitudes, to value themselves and confidently tap into their inherent gifts for making their dreams come true."

Welcome to Topsea, the strangest place you'll ever visit.



In this town, the coves are bottomless and the pier has no end in sight. There's a high tide and a low tide . . . and a vanishing tide. Dogs are a myth, but mermaids are totally real. And seaweed is the main ingredient in every meal-watch out, it might just start chewing you back!



New kid Davy definitely thinks Topsea is strange. His mom keeps saying they'll get used to life in their new town-it's just the way things are on the coast! But after his first day at Topsea School, Davy finds himself wondering: Why is his locker all the way at the bottom of the school swimming pool? Why can't anyone remember his name? (It's Davy!) And why does everyone act like all of this is normal?!



Through newspaper articles, stories, surveys, notifications, and more, follow Davy and the rest of Ms. Grimalkin's fifth grade class through the weird world of Topsea. (Whatever you do, don't make eye contact with the rubber ducks.)

Master storyteller Todd Strasser reimagines the classic tale of Moby Dick as set in the future—and takes readers on an epic sci-fi adventure. When seventeen-year-old Ishmael wakes up from stasis aboard the Pequod, he is amazed by how different this planet is from the dirty, dying, Shroud-covered Earth he left behind. But Ishmael isn’t on Cretacea to marvel at the fresh air, sunshine, and endless blue ocean. He’s here to work, risking his life to hunt down great ocean-dwelling beasts to harvest and send back to the resource-depleted Earth. Even though easy prey abounds, time and again the chase boat crews are ordered to ignore it in order to pursue the elusive Great Terrafin. It’s rumored that the ship’s captain, Ahab, lost his leg to the beast years ago, and that he’s now consumed by revenge. But there may be more to Captain Ahab’s obsession. Dark secrets and dangerous exploits swirl around the pursuit of the beast, and Ishmael must do his best to survive—if he can.

12 Simple Lessons for Riding Through Life

In Surfer's Code: 12 Simple Lessons for Riding Through Life, world champion surfer Shaun Tomson shares the life lessons he's gathered from decades of surfing-from his boyhood adventures in South Africa to the world tour in the late 1970s to the business world today. For Tomson, surfing is a hobby, a sport, a religion, an obsession and more-it is a way of life. Tomson's life lessons have guided his career to the top of both professional competition and the world of business. Now, he shares these powerful lessons, born on the world's best swells, with all people-including those who might never step on a surfboard. These lessons are born of the collective wisdom of the surf community and are a powerful source of inspiration in the face of extraordinary challenges of every day life. "I tell people that I didn't develop or create the code. I simply wrote down what was out there all the time in my heart and in the hearts of many surfers, always there but sometimes overlooked. I like to think the code was always there, a part of every surfer's life, unspoken maybe, but in our hearts, ever since the ancient Polynesians started surfing so many thousands of years ago." -Shaun Tomson Just a few of the lessons shared in Tomson's Surfer's Code: I Will Never Turn My Back on the Ocean I Will Take the Drop with Commitment I Will Never Fight a Rip Tide I Will Always Paddle Back Out I Will Watch Out For Other Surfers There Will Always Be Another Wave I Will Catch a Wave Every Day All Surfers Are Connected By One Ocean

Of all the observations, humans have made about the oceans, perhaps the one that rings most true is that of Joseph Conrad - "The sea never changes, and its works, for all the talk of men, are wrapped in mystery." While its works may remain a mystery, the absolute beauty of the oceans is evident for all to see.

Presented for the first time as a tribute to to the marine environment, The Majesty and Mystery of the Sea captures the imagination. Here, in 96 stunning pages, 15 award-winning marine photographers bring the wonders of the sea to life, while 40 writers - from Plutarch to Rachel Carson, from William Blake to Douglas Adams - illuminate mankind's ongoing fascination with the oceans.

The result is an inspiring and thought-provoking presentation of the infinite variety of marine life and the marine environment.

The Majesty and Mystery of the Sea is a testament to the most important natural resource on earth - and perhaps the most precarious. For without the sea, there is no life. In the words of Baba Dioum, noted African naturalist, "We will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught."
