My Brother's Hero

(4) 4-6 Narrator Ben Floyd and his family spend Christmas vacation in the Florida Keys, taking care of a marina for relatives. Ben and his younger brother meet Mica, a girl who lives on a sailboat with her heavy-drinking father. The unfocused plot is slow, but the characters--particularly the arrogant but emotionally needy Mica--are well drawn.
