"Troubled Waters" by Roger Barlow is a children's adventure novel written in the late 1950s. The book follows two teenage boys, Sandy Steele and his friend Jerry James, as they embark on a sailing adventure after Sandy receives a sailboat from his uncle. Their journey quickly turns into a thrilling escapade filled with unexpected challenges and dangers, including encounters with counterfeit money and a mysterious and dangerously hostile island inhabitant. At the start of the story, Sandy learns about the surprising gift of a sailboat from his Uncle Russ, sparking excitement as he recruits Jerry, who has sailing experience, to accompany him. The opening chapters detail their preparations for the sailing trip, with Sandy's initial doubts about his abilities and Jerry's knowledgeable guidance.
