The League of Maritime Adventurers: The Ungrateful Rescue

When a group of teens volunteer to clean up litter on their local beach in Maine, they accidentally come upon a criminal polluting operation—and they are on the case to stop it. The first volume in a fun and informative young adult series combines mystery and adventure with illuminating content about ocean, weather, and nautical lore. Dawn, Ryan, Conner and their friends are a group of young teens who spend summer together with their families in cottages on the rocky coast of Maine. When a clean-up session on the beach unveils suspicious dumping activity, the kids are determined to gather evidence to unravel the mystery of an organized gang of ocean polluters. Professional seaman, teacher of boat-handling and navigation, and ocean thrill-seeker, author Steve Wedlock expertly combines mystery and adventure with maritime and nautical language and facts in the first volume in his new middle-grade and young adult series, The League of Maritime Adventurers: Ungrateful Rescue. When the group of teenagers find an area of their local beach covered in pieces of distinctive bubble-wrap plastic that matches the same garbage they uncover in a local dumpster, brother and sister Dawn and Ryan and their pals Conner, Jenna, and Terry decide to camp out on the beach one evening to see if they can gather evidence. A clandestine transaction takes place, and the team of teens begin an investigative journey to out the culprits responsible.
