In the final section of the book, Brady does what he believes is the right thing, and tells his father everything. The situation prompts Brady to reflect on the death of his younger sister, who died suddenly at four months old seven years earlier. The central section of the book then consists of Brady confronting his friends, feeling partly responsible, hiding the evidence, deliberating over the correct course of action, and generally suffering debilitating, internal, moral conflict.

Brady soon discovers evidence that the kayak had been sabotaged by his two friends, JT and Digger. DiAngelo reveals to Brady that she is pregnant. DiAngelo blames his wife for their son's death and they separate Mrs. DiAngelo and her three-year-old son, who Brady previously babysat for, that were going out on the kayak, which overturns and leads to the death of the boy.īrady assuages his grief by working for the mourning DiAngelo family on their property. Brady and his friends decide not to warn the people in the kayak, thinking it's Mr. One day, Brady sees a red kayak owned by the DiAngelo's heading into the river in dangerous weather. A wealthy family called the DiAngelos buys the property Brady and his friends are used to enjoying near the water. Red Kayak is written from the point of view of a thirteen-year-old boy named Brady Parks who is part of a poor crab-fishing family on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
