En savoir plus sur le livre

The Killer Shrimp of Dauphin Island is a "southern" thriller, about an eleven-year-old boy, Noah and his fourteen-year-old brother, Mike. They are spending the summer on Dauphin Island, with their mother, while their father is off to war in Afghanistan. One sunny summer's day, Noah goes swimming in the shallows, while Mike tries his luck fishing at the end of the pier. Suddenly, Noah starts screaming: his toes are on fire! He runs out of the water. Sitting down in the dry white sand, he sees blood oozing from tiny cuts all over his feet. There is something attached to his big toe, a tiny shrimp with ragged pointy teeth dug into his skin.
