From Booklist
Gr. 6-9. In this satisfying crime and coming-of-age drama, a toddler drowns in a kayak accident after friends of teenage Brady, the victim’s neighbor, vent some anger against the child’s dad by drilling holes in the bottom of his craft. It was a mean-spirited prank–but no one was supposed to die. What happens now? Revealing the terrible secret would implicate Brady’s friends in the drowning, and it clouds his whole world with guilt and fear. Cummings works plot and characterizations skillfully, building suspense as the evidence unfolds and as Brady wrestles with his decision and tries to come to terms with his own responsibility. Brady’s eastern-Maryland surroundings and heritage (his father, a waterman, struggles to make a living from crabbing) are also vividly evoked. Brady’s ultimate decision is both anguished and well reasoned, making for a realistic conclusion. Anne O’MalleyCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved

The red Kayak
My 7th Grade class read The Red Kayak and loved it. The ending had a few
let downs but all in all, it was terrific. We hope the author will write a sequel.

Heart Wrenching
In truth, I had trouble getting into this book at first; when I finally just sat down and read Red Kayak, I found that the novel spun a tale that even made me hurt in the same way…

Gripping and tragic
If you are like most young teens, there will be a time when you will struggle to do the right thing.

Ok book, but language level is better for younger kids
This book was very good, a little dramatic and the language lacked hard words and use of words. I would overall recomand for kids 8-12.

Great Read Aloud
I just borrowed this book from my husband who teaches 6th grade, and I devoured it in one weekend. It is a good story that reminds me of ‘On My Honor’.

A Great Book I’m not a big fan of reading, but this book just pulls you into to it. It starts as a breath taking beginning and an unpredictable ending.

So Many Questions
Listen,” dad said “Carl called. Somebody’s missing on the river, maybe out in the bay. He wants us to take the boats and help look.”
I put my hand over my eyes.
