This book focuses on the America's Cup race in San Diego in 1995. Mike Lucas lives in Auckland. When he is sent to his grandparents, he learns to sail along with his best friend Hone, with his grandfather as teacher. Then he finds out that his family is involved in the America's Cup team and the book follows him and his family through preparation, races and the glory of bringing the Cup home to New Zealand. I recommend this book to people interested in sailing, and with the race on right at the moment, it is very timely and a perfect realisation of New Zealand's sporting ability.
Who would enjoy this? Anyone who likes sailing and the thrill of a big race, where the honour of the nation is at stake.
