Dark Waters by Catherine MacPhail Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2003, 176 pp., $15.95 Family Loyalty/Honesty ISBN: 1-58234-846-4
Col McCann-known by the entire town because of the vicious actions of his father and older brother-struggles with the decision of being the local town hero or following his family name and becoming a nuisance to the society.
Col has just helped his brother, Mungo, escape trouble with the police by providing him an alibi for some unknown crime he committed. While visiting his favorite hangout, the loch, Col risks his own life attempting to save a young boy named Dominique from drowning when the ice cracks underneath him. Now in Dominique's family's good graces, Col must deal with his brother's dislike for the attention it has brought to him and his family.
After he learns of Mungo's crimes against his own friends-crimes he was unknowingly an accomplice to-Col struggles with the decision of being loyal to his family or doing the right thing and correcting the wrongs that have been done.
