Youngsters will love reading about the misadventures of Sam, a fictitious eight-year-old boy from Seldovia, Alaska, who slips in and out of trouble--but always learns something in the process. In book one, Sam wants to find the biggest clam ever. He's digging so hard that he doesn't notice when the tide comes in. Will Dad get back with help in time? Come along with Sam on each exciting adventure as he discovers the wilderness right outside his door in Seldovia, Alaska. Read all the books in this growing series, "The Misadventures of Seldovia Sam." More than anything, Sam Peterson wants to dig up the biggest clam ever. He's so busy daydreaming, he doesn't notice that the tide's coming in....not until he and his dog, Neptune, find themselves stranded on a shrinking island! Once again, the misadventures of Seldovia Sam stirr Sam into action in a cold, wet race against time.
