Funny, poignant, and deeply moving, The Line Tender is a story of nature's enduring mystery and a girl determined to find meaning and connection within it. Wherever the sharks led, Lucy Everhart's marine-biologist mother was sure to follow. In fact, she was on a boat far off the coast of Massachusetts, collecting shark data when she died suddenly. Lucy was seven. Since then Lucy and her father have kept their heads above water--thanks in large part to a few close friends and neighbors. But June of her twelfth summer brings more than the end of school and a heat wave to sleepy Rockport. On one steamy day, the tide brings a great white--and then another tragedy, cutting short a friendship everyone insists was "meaningful" but no one can tell Lucy what it all meant. To survive the fresh wave of grief, Lucy must grab the line that connects her depressed father, a stubborn fisherman, and a curious old widower to her mother's unfinished research on the Great White's return to Cape Cod. If Lucy can find a way to help this unlikely quartet follow the sharks her mother loved, she'll finally be able to look beyond what she's lost and toward what's left to be discovered. ★"Confidently voiced."-Kirkus Reviews, starred ★"Richly layered."-Publishers Weekly, starred ★"A hopeful path forward."-Booklist, starred ★"Life-affirming."-BCCB, starred ★"Big-hearted." -Bookpage, starred ★"Will appeal to just about everyone." - SLC, starred ★"Exquisitely, beautifully real."-Shelf Awareness, starred

"Kate Allen writes with lyric grace, and her beautifully textured narrative, of a girl struggling to understand and move beyond tragedy, is a triumph." The Buffalo News
"Allen s understated but richly detailed story will help young readers dig into their resilience to see how they, too, can draw connections in their lives." The Minneapolis Star Tribune
"A masterful blend of exuberant life and its accompanying tragedy." The Florida Times Union
"Allen s debut novel is, indeed, tender. Also funny, poignant, sad and filled with hope." The St. Paul Pioneer Press
In following the adaptation of sharks to a shifting ecology, The Line Tender speaks to our own human capacity to adapt to loss--and Lucy's losses are profound. This is a novel that stirs our deepest hope that we can survive profound change, that we can even move into new channels that will support us and nourish us and point us toward what we had never anticipated. This is a celebration of our ability to survive. Gary Schmidt, Newbery and Printz Honoree and National Book Award Finalist
