In the beginning of The Wanderer Sophie was with her family and she was going on a boat. Sophie loves the sea and boats. She knows everything about both of them. Sophie is going on the boat with 3 of her uncles and 2 cousins.
     They go on the boat and one of her cousins, Brian, starts making rules and plans and not enjoying the time. His father uncle Stew is trying to say Sophie isn't good enough and that she doesn't know about boats. They are going to see their grandpa, Bompie.
     First they stop at Grand Mannan and are happy to see land for once. Cody almost throws her off of the edge to make a joke. Dock has to throw a pregnate lobster back into the ocean.
    Then they leave and a massive storm hits the boat. The sails start ripping and flooding and they all had to work together to fix the boat. Brian got mad at Sophie for being selfish on fixing the boat and not wanting to do her job. Sophie then almost pushed him off.
     At last they arrive and Bompie's house and they were all friends after staying on the boat so long.
Sophie is extra happy to see Bompie because she heard a ton of cool stories about him.
I think this book wa very great and I do recommend it. Thank you.
