Description
Lloyd comes from a long line of fishermen. Growing up in Kingston, Jamaica, Lloyd feels most at home with the sea and his grandfather, Maas Conrad, at his side. When his grandfather doesn't return from a fishing trip, Lloyd fears he has gone to drift. Lloyd sets off on a journey to find his grandfather. In the process, he discovers more about the fishing community in his town and uncovers an illegal dolphin smuggling ring that might have something to do with his grandfather's disappearance. With a vivid and unique setting, a timely issue at the core, and an emotional story of family and home Gone to Drift is a moving story of family, courage, and the wonders of the oceans we call home.
