The book I have chosen is Ship Breaker as my summer reading book. It takes place in a dystopian society where there is a very limited supply of oil and other parts of oil tankers. The protagonist is named Nailer, lives on Bright Sands Beach where they live in crews and tear apart any of the valuable parts of beached oil tankers. Nailer is a member of the light crew which collects wires from the ships. He is considered very lucky after finding an oil pocket and living. When stick in this oil pocket he calls for help from a crew member, Sloth, who does not help him in hopes of hiding the oil pocket and keeping it to herself. This is against the blood oath causing her to be kicked from the crew. Pima, Nailers friend, is very loyal to her crew. She is on the verge of heavy crew and light crew.
There are multiple conflicts in this novel. The first conflict is Nailer being stuck in an oil pocket. A second one is a major storm along the coast which destroys everything on bright sand beach. After this storm there is a beached tanker hidden from other crews. inside of the ship is a large amount of wealth from diamonds, silver, and gold. But... there is a girl trapped under furniture who could claim the wealth. Nailer wants to save her but others want to kill her and claim the loot.
A connection that I made during the part of the book where Nailer is stuck the oil pocket is a book-book connection. If you have ever read the Alex Rider series, Alex is tuck in a pocket of water where he also finds a door at the bottom of the container and he swims out into the water of Venice. This is very similar to how Nailer finds a door at the bottom if the pocket to escape.
After he escapes they start calling him lucking boy. Will he continue to be lucky? Will he be jinxed by his name? I think that he will start acting lucky and eventually his luck will turn unlucky. He will be stuck in another situation and it would be as if he were stuck in that oil pocket again but there is no way out.
