More About This Book

Overview

First hailed as a hero for his dramatic water rescue of a little boy, thirteen-year-old Brady Parks soon makes a discovery that puts him at the heart of an enormous tragedy. Alone with his dark secret, Brady is ultimately forced to choose between loyalty to his lifelong friends and doing what he knows in his heart is right. Priscilla Cummings weaves a suspenseful, multilayered tale of three teenage boys caught in a wicked web of their own making.

Living near the water on Maryland's Eastern Shore, thirteen-year-old Brady and his best friends J.T. and Digger become entangled in a tragedy which tests their friendship and their ideas about right and wrong.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Brady Parks thought he had a normal life: going to school, hanging out with friends, and working with his dad on the river. Then one day his dad asks for help searching for a missing neighbor and her son who were kayaking on the river. Brady finds Ben, the toddler who Brady had baby-sat earlier that year, unconscious in the cold water. Brady performs CPR until the paramedics can take over and take Ben to the hospital. Brady is declared a local hero. Unfortunately, Ben dies the following day due to complications from exposure. While grieving over Ben's death, Brady discovers that the kayak sinking was not an accident, it was sabotage. Brady has to decide if he should go to the police or protect his friends. This is a great book for kids who need to see that doing the right thing is not always easy, especially when it is going against friends or peer-pressure. With issues such as death and betrayal dominating the storyline, this is a perfect choice for pre-teens who have to deal with tough issues and harsh secrets. 2004, Dutton Children's Books, Ages 12 up.

From The Critics
Cummings has written for slightly younger readers in her previous books, Saving Grace, Autumn Journey, and A Face First. This is a solid YA novel, featuring a thoughtful 13-year-old narrator named Brady who must deal with some serious moral choices when a little neighbor boy dies. The setting is the Eastern Shore, Maryland, and Brady's father is a waterman, making a living catching crabs. One stress point is that the crab harvest is smaller every year and the family and the neighborhood are suffering financially because of this. Brady is a skilled waterman himself, which is why he is called out to help in the search for the red kayak when a storm comes up and a woman and her child are missing. He finds the little boy but even with CPR, the child dies. This is a terrible situation for Brady, but it becomes much worse when he suspects that his two best friends caused the kayak to sink. Indeed, eventually Brady decides to tell what he knows, which means his friends are accused of second-degree murder. This is a memorable story of a young person struggling with grief and guilt. Each character is believable, including the adults in the story. There is plenty of action to appeal to readers, and the angst will be something all YAs, especially those Brady's age, will be able to understand. KLIATT Codes: J—Recommended for junior high school students. 2004, Penguin, Dutton, 209p., Ages 12 to 15.

    Highly Recomended

    The Red Kayak was a very good book. The book left you wondering what happened next at every turn of the page. It started off with three boys being best friends. Throughout the book their friendship spirals downward as Brady, one of the characters, finds out a horrible secret but is to afraid what will happen if he tells. Brady is concerned about JT and Digger and what will happen to them.
    This book was surprising and had lots of twist and turns. Everything written in this book leads up to a perfect exciting climax. I would suggest that anyone reading this review should read this book. This book was so good that I could not put it down.

    Exciting and a Good Read

    We are currently reading this book in class, and I am loving it.
    A twisted tale of a boy named Brady who is forced to choose between squealing on his two best friends or forever hold the most dangerous secret ever.

    I recommend this book to people of all ages. It's filled with mystery and sadness, a great book!

    I absolutely Loved this book

    I cannot believe how good this book was. At the beginning I was like " this isn't very exciting". But then i reached the climax of the story and its like "wow, this is a great book". the author uses amazing resources to make sure it sounds as real as possible, and it really worked. I can really relate to the characters. She puts in lots of details which really makes the story move along nicely. I could not believe how well the story fit together. It was a mystery while it was a breath taking story. It was truly a sad tale, but it keeps you reading!

    A reviewer

    I am in the seventh grade and i live in washington. im your average prissy stuck up snob, and i absolutely HATE reading. i think its a waste of time and that their isn't one good reason for it. but i was forced to write a report on an adventure/mystery book for school. i just picked this book up off the shelf and didn't even read the cover. it grabbed onto me and i couldn't put it down. i actually got in trouble at school for reading when i was suppose to be working! my friends and parents couldn't figure out what had gotten into me. i LOVED this book and i recommend it to ANYONE. it is a fanomenal book.

    Outstanding!!

    I could not put this book down-- it was suspensful from beginning to end. Out of all the books I've read (and there have been many), this definitely ranks near the top. I highly recommend this book for school or simply pleasure.

    A touching story of a boy forced to choose between his friends and what he thinks is right.

    Brady Parks is a 13 year old 8th grade student at Alexander Holmes Middle School, located in Maryland off the Chesapeake Bay. He and his two best friends JT and Digger are caught in a terrible mess when a joke goes bad. Brady's story is full of suspense and surprises. I couldnt put the book the book down. You can really wrap your mind around this heart warming tale of a wonderful young man, who has had his share of sorrow. Will Brady make the right decision?? You'll have to read for yourself. This book is for the young and the oldER (like myself). I'll be reading Saving Grace, A Face First, and Autumn Journey soon. Priscilla Cummings has done a splended job at keeping this YA read very interesting!

    Red Kayak provides much to reflect upon.

    Priscilla Cummings masterfully tells a multi-faceted, gripping tale through a 13 year- old boy's eyes.This young man, Brady, the main character and narrator of the Red Kayak talks right from his heart.As readers, we are allowed into Brady's dilemas and heart wrentching decisions involving his two best friends and a serious tragedy. A three year- old in the story made a touching analogy between someone 'justing being mean' and not being a 'bad' person overall.Cummings makes me feel like I could be right there living near the Chesapeake Bay area where fisherman, crabbers, and life on the water intermingle.
