Book review

• The book's conflict is in the beginning with Nailer being stuck in a tank of oil and not being able to get out of it. The story is mostly only day after day of Nailer going to the downed oil tankers and stripping them of their copper wiring and trying to find things that are of worth to him.
• The problem was resolved by him being thrown rope and dragged out, but he had a rusty blade in him that cut him in his stomach. Pima's mom stitched it up but said that if it had gone even a centimeter more he would have died.
• I would reccommend this book to a friend because it's about making your place in business and fighting to stay alive day after day by working hard while almost dying.

The book begins with Nailer crawling through the oil tanker searching for wiring for the daily quota. Nailer doesn't pay attention on how far he crawls without looking down and he falls into a pit of oil. He calls for help and his partner comes but she thinks about the amount of money it could bring her, not even thinking about Nailer and saving him. She gets cut of from the crew because she broke the blood oath. The day after this happens a large storm begins. He thinks of abandoning his dad and find higher ground. The storm sweeps the beach clean and all the people who survived the storm meet there. They find a clipper with a girl in it, but the clipper could make them a lot of money.
