Tim loves the sea, and he especially loves listening to the old boatman talk about it. Tim€s best friend, Ginger, though, is a sailor, and sailors already know such things so when he goes out shrimping, Ginger pays no heed to the boatman€s warning about dangerous tides. He€s soon in trouble, and it€s up to Tim to rescue Ginger from the crashing waves - and that€s just the beginning of Tim€s most thrilling adventures. With its gorgeous watercolor illustrations and absorbing plot, this timeless story is as fresh and exciting today as when first published.
