Saltwater Boy is an excellent book for mature juvenile or younger Young Adult readers, but was great to read as an adult. As an adult I wished some themes and plots could have been expanded upon, but the book plays fair as mostly these are somewhat out of the young protagonist's view/control. Nevertheless a good quick read, and well worth your time.
