About This Book
A collegiate sports adventure follows a group of students who organize and train rowing crews amid persistent bad weather, campus rivalries, and the mysterious disappearance of trophies. The plot follows their practices, new shells, and the tensions of jealousy, romance, and accusations as they investigate clues, face setbacks including missing teammates and pawned tickets, and engage with rival teams and colorful local figures. The story builds through training camps, trials, and preliminary contests to a climactic regatta in which hard work, teamwork, and revealed explanations determine a narrow, dramatic finish for the eight-oared championship.
