Lord of the Deep is about a stepfather named Bill and his stepson Mikey. They live in Hawaii's Kona coast, with Mickey's mom and his stepbrother Billy- Jay. Bill and Mikey have a boat called the Crystal- C where they are fishermen. The book is divided into 3 parts. The first part is about how Bill and Mikey get ready for their daily departure on their Crystal- C boat. The second part is about their guest who comes with them on the boat journey one day. Their guest that come with them are are Cal, Ernie and Alison. Alison is a 16 year old girl that loves to draw in her sketchbook and she doesn't like to fish. Cal and Ernie came on the boat to fish. During the long day, they catch two fish. One fish almost died on the boat, but it jumped back into the water. The other fish was a huge Marlin that was yellow, blue and green. The third part is when they go back to the port. They weigh their Marlin, and it is a record weighing fish. Cal, Ernie, Mikey and Bill go into the record books. Cal, Ernie and Bill made a promise that they will split the winning money into 3rds. Mikey gets mad at Bill because he had to split the money. They get in a fight, and then the next day Mikey and Bill go back on the Crystal- C and Cal and Ernie come back aboard. Then Mikey and Bill get along and Mikey gets on of Alison's drawings from her sketchbook.

Lord of the Deep is a great book! The book is mostly about sailing on a boat and catching fish. I would give this book to someone who likes the sea and fishing. The sea is great big blue water where you can find lots of different animals. In Lord of the Deep you can see how fishermen catch fish. The book has is mostly about a bond with Mikey and Bill. Mikey's first father wasn't a great dad, because he kept leaving him with his mom.
