    "description": "The Line Tender is the story of Lucy, the daughter of a marine biologist and a rescue diver, and the summer that changes her life. If she ever wants to lift the cloud of grief over her family and community, she must complete the research her late mother began. She must follow the sharks.\n\nWherever the sharks led, Lucy Everhart\u2019s marine-biologist mother was sure to follow. In fact, she was on a boat far off the coast of Massachusetts, preparing to swim with a Great White, when she died suddenly. Lucy was eight. Since then Lucy and her father have done OK\u2014thanks in large part to her best friend, Fred, and a few close friends and neighbors. But June of her twelfth summer brings more than the end of school and a heat wave to sleepy Rockport. On one steamy day, the tide brings a Great White\u2014and then another tragedy, cutting short a friendship everyone insists was \u201cmeaningful\u201d but no one can tell Lucy what it all meant. To survive the fresh wave of grief, Lucy must grab the line that connects her depressed father, a stubborn fisherman, and a curious old widower to her mother\u2019s unfinished research. If Lucy can find a way to help this unlikely quartet follow the sharks her mother loved, she\u2019ll finally be able to look beyond what she\u2019s lost and toward what\u2019s left to be discovered.
