Runaway Riptide: A Journal of Survival and Discovery

When adventurous twelve-year-old Thomas Marcel and his loyal dog Bijou are swept out to sea by a riptide off the rugged coast of Oregon, Thomas never imagined where fate would take them. Stranded on an unoccupied island, surrounded by wild animals and the explosive power of the ocean, their lives changed dramatically.

As Thomas explores the island's mysterious abandoned cabin hidden deep in a sprawling meadow, and a pond brimming with abundant life; he meets dangerous wildlife—and learns to navigate danger at every turn. With killer whales and countless sharks in the waters and the roaring from sea lion rookeries echoing off the cliffs, Thomas faces his greatest challenge: unraveling the secrets of the cabin while fighting to survive in a world both captivating and dangerous.

Join Thomas and Bijou as they not only battle the elements but also learn about courage, hope, and the power of friendship.

Runaway Riptide: Thomas' diary of Survival and Discovery is a gripping memoir that invites readers into a world where every moment counts and the wild becomes a teacher.
