The Great Godden by Meg Rosoff
4.0
A large family, in which each kid has had to carve their own space, returns to their summer beach house. The arrival of the golden Kit Godden, and his Shadow of a brother, Hugo turns the summer head (and heart) over heels.
It’s always a pleasure when an author manages to balance the line between the weight of teen angst and the naive hope of youth. Goddard does this perfectly, making this coming of age tale a perfect lazy Sunday afternoon read.
