This book is hauntingly beautiful and holds some truth in dealing with painful (or scary) memories from childhood. The main character had dealt with a lot of things at a really young age and from my experience reading the text, I truly believe this boy was a strong person (mentally) and dealt with the demons of his family's pasts greatly through vivid imaginations (or were they really imaginations?) with the help of kind strangers who pulled him through.
I really like how the author included the 'ocean' in the book and to use that force to symbolize a place of cleansing, a specific time for healing from what he has seen. It's like baptism...being baptized and washed away from (potentially) PTSD.
