Gone to Drift

From award-winning Jamaican author Diana McCaulay, Gone to Drift is a powerful voice-driven middle grade novel about family set in Jamaica. Lloyd comes from a long line of fishermen. Growing up in Kingston, Jamaica, Lloyd feels most at home with the sea and his grandfather, Maas Conrad, at his side. When his grandfather doesn´t return from a fishing trip, Lloyd fears he has gone to drift. The sea may be in Lloyd´s blood, but as he searches for his grandfather, he discovers a side of the ocean--and the people who use it--that he´s never known before. Told in the alternating voices of Lloyd and Maas Conrad, Gone to Drift is a moving story of family, courage, and the wonders of the oceans we call home.
