Summary:This is based on a true story of when a Sea serpant came to the town of Gloucester, Massachusetts. People came from all over to see the serpent and some came to try and capture it. None of them succeeded. The next year, they came back and once they thought that had it, but it turned out to be a giant mackerel fish. Soon after, they saw the serpent playing in the waves. The sea serpent left and was never seen again.
Response: I liked this book. It reminded me of Moby Dick.
