In this book we see Andrea return to Anderson Arm, Newfoundland for the summer to stay with her aunt and uncle instead of following her mother and step-father to Sierra Leone. Some excitement on her uncles new boat leads to quite the adventure.

I liked this book every more then the first of the series [The Girl From Away]. The book does have a reasonable amount of French in it and I do not speak any but as it was all in conversation and many of the characters could only speak either French of English I felt like the occasional confusion was part of the story and much of it I could follow from words around it. The central character of Andrea continued to be developed and is a completely believable individual who is learning about the east coast of Canada. ( )
