Summary Gabe’s favorite place to be is underwater, whether that means actually swimming or simulating the experience while playing Underseas Exploratorium. If only he could learn to keep his anger under the surface as well. But everyone around Gabe irritates him. Maxie is so messy and so noisy; Jake so detached and spacey. Gabe fears that he may have some mental problems of his own, and these fears aren’t allayed when his mother brings home a book titled Your Difficult Child. But a summer immersed in others’ problems while helping at Tanks for You teaches Gabe some lessons in acceptance and personal perspective.
