Description

It was the best summer of his life, and the darkest days he ever lived.

In 1978 Danny Novak, at thirteen, is hired to work at Camp Baker for the summer. He is the youngest boy on staff. Danny isn’t worried about his age. He’s confident he’ll fit right in, but quickly learns it’s not that easy.

When Danny fails the swim test to work on the waterfront, Mark, the bad boy on staff, is forced to teach Danny to swim or get sent home. Home is the last place Mark wants to go, but he wants nothing to do with the skinny runt who’s ruined his summer.

Even after Danny passes the test, he worries the other guys won’t accept him.

On the Waterfront is a bittersweet coming of age tale of two boys struggling for acceptance and friendship.
