[Excerpt from the USCGA Website]“Swab Summer is a seven-week traditional military indoctrination. It is designed to help young civilian students transition into the lifestyle of Coast Guard Academy cadets. The training process starts with general military skills and physical conditioning. The training continues with seamanship, swimming and academics. Through the process, students develop self-discipline, military bearing and esprit de corps (the spirit of the corps). They also begin to understand the Coast Guard's Core Values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty. For many cadets the highlight of Swab Summer is their first short cruise on the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle. For one week, swabs are introduced to life at sea aboard our famous tall ship.”[Not an excerpt from the USCGA Website]Not everyone makes it through the seven weeks.

Kevin's older brother, Adam, is a bad lot. Adam and his mates burn out a car they've stolen, trash the local community centre, and to cap it all, Kevin discovers a gun under the floorboards in his room. And then there's Uncle Davey, even more of a bad lot than Adam, who's just out of prison and already back to his old habits. Kevin makes friends with Conor, who lives in a swanky house with his mother, a bank manager. When Kevin discovers that Adam and Uncle Davey are planning a tiger kidnapping, and that the victims are going to be Conor and his mother, he comes up with an ingenious plan to foil the plot, rescue his friend and dispatch no-good Uncle Davey for good. A tightly plotted and absorbing realistic novel with a serious-minded and likeable teenage protagonist, who gets himself caught in a web of crime and deception - and, both cleverly and bravely, solves one problem after another to come out triumphant at the end.
