I may have a new YR favorite book! Beautiful done with a cheeky main character and sweet sidekick in her younger brother. Plus a little bit of mystery and a pair of otters!
Some of the story was familiar, set in the marshlands and rumors of a bridge *coughmidCurrituckbridgecough* that gave it familiarity, though some felt more SC than NC (just saying) but while living in Raleigh, the author is originally from the other coast.
Yes, dear reader, I cried. A well executed twist that will have young readers thinking but also appreciating the way the family (and community) handle loss. Top marks and an excellent choice for the 8-12 crowd.
