A beautifully written middle grade novel that reads like a classic. The descriptions of the northeastern coastal islands are easy to imagine, even as a reader who has never been to that area of the country. The action and adventure in the second half of the book makes the reader anticipate each following scene, all the way to a satisfying ending. Would make a good read-aloud.

Washed ashore in a leaky skiff as a newborn, Crow is raised by a kind man living a solitary life on an island off the coast of Massachusetts. After turning twelve, Crow begins to wonder where she came from, and slowly unravels the mystery of her origins. Beautifully written and moving.
