I got the idea for this one from NPR's story program, Snap Judgment. The author basically did the book in 15 minutes.
It's a true story, written well, about an 11 year old kid and his dad in a plane crash around Big Bear. The kid survives, and dad and dad's girlfriend don't.
The kid grows up at Topanga Beach in the late 1970's and it feels like the 70's with puka shells and big collars. Dad teaches the kid to surf, ski and play hockey, which the kid later understands to be training for surviving the ordeal of the crash.
Read this one.
