Submarine Outlaw takes YA readers on a unique journey when Alfred, a young boy who wants to be an explorer -- not a fisherman, as his family demands -- teams up with a junkyard genius to build a submarine that he sails around the Maritimes. When the submarine is mistaken for a Russian spy sub and chased by the coastguard, a thrilling high-seas chase ensues. The First Prize Winner of the Atlantic Writers Competition, "Submarine Outlaw" shows how any great goal in life requires patience, determination and hard work, but also how hard work on one's dream can be a joyous and valuable experience.
