    About this ebook

    When their whale-watching trip goes horribly wrong, Skylar, Gabby, and Miles find themselves on an inflatable raft in the middle of the ocean. With no food, a small amount of water, and only a small first-aid kit to help them, they must spend three treacherous days on the waves, hoping desperately for help to arrive. Sharks circle, their water supply dwindles, and Gabby begins to hallucinate. Will they survive, or are they lost at sea forever?

    Jake Maddox

    Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

      CHAPTER 1

      Killers at Sea

      Fourteen-year-old Gabby Moore glared down at the ocean. She said, Since I haven’t seen any whales, do you think the whales are hiding out there, watching us?

      She whirled around. Her friend Skylar laughed. Miles, Gabby’s 16-year-old brother, smirked. Gabby could tell that he was trying not to laugh. When Skylar glanced at Miles, he walked to the other side of the boat.

      You knew there might not be anything, Gabby’s mother said.

      Captain Steve can’t promise that we’ll see whales, their father said.

      "I’ve been taking folks out on the Gusto for twenty-two years, Captain Steve said, patting the railing of the boat. In all that time, the people sure have changed, but the animals haven’t. They’re still as hard to find as they were when I started."

      He pointed to a vinyl banner that hung on the boat. Whale They or Won’t They Show Up? was printed on it in silver letters. There was a cartoon picture of a whale winking.

      Just like the poster says, Gabby, Captain Steve said. The whales will show up if they feel like it.

      Captain Steve was friends with Gabby’s mom. Recently, Gabby’s science teacher had assigned the class to do projects about different animals. Gabby and Skylar got whales. Gabby’s mom called Captain Steve, who agreed to take
