Finished this a month ago and never reviewed it......i cannot explain it, but i love these books.....it is the Maine coast, the goodness, the smell of the tides, the daily life routines of ocean people......and the sappy story lines. I think they are a transport mechanism for me back to cleaner purer times of my childhood and it does my mind and soul good to spend a little time there now and then! And this even had a little surprise twist at the end. Very glad i read it.... ( )

This is a really old book, with an ok story. Cass doesn't get to go away for the summer like she wanted, but she ended up having a pretty good summer anyway. Very quick read. ( )
