A review by peppermintbee
Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes

I read this book probably back in elementary school, but for some reason it has always stuck with me. It was the first book I read that ever had a haunting, eerie feel to it while still compelling you to read on. I can still remember the Martha's vivid descriptions of the world around her and how gripping that was to me as a young girl. It definitely taught me about kindness and death before I knew how to put the thoughts into words.
