The latest in a long line of Junius Leaks, he's the first to be doomed to ten days of awkwardness and boredom on a houseboat with a relative he doesn't know while his parents \"work on\" their marriage. Delcambre, Louisiana, where Junius was born, is awash with unwelcome surprises. He determines to learn why his mom left town when he was a baby--and to conquer his fear of water at the same time. But the lake has other plans for him, plans tied to a hundred-year-old family feud and a swashbuckling mystery. When disaster strikes, Junius must dive deep within to emerge an unlikely hero. Alternating viewpoints spin the perceptions of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)--and the wry voice of a lake with a long memory--into an inventive tale of sunken treasure and buried secrets anchored by a dramatic true event.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllan Wolf\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books for young people, including the novel \u003ci\u003eThe Watch that Ends the Night\u003c\/i\u003e, which was named one of the 50 Best Young Adult Novels of All Time by \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e; the novel \u003ci\u003eJunius Leak and the Spiraling Vortex of Doom;\u003c\/i\u003e the nonfiction graphic novel \u003ci\u003eThe Vanishing of Lake Peigneur\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Jose Pimienta; and the poetry collection \u003ci\u003eThe Gift of the Broken Teacup\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Jade Orlando.
