Synopsis:
Twelve-year-old Ellie Tremont is b-o-r-e-d, bored, and she wishes something, anything, would happen. So when 14-year-old Tommy Bowers moves in next door, with his lanky swagger and his troubled past, Ellie knows her summer is about to get interesting. When Tommy suggests they start a camp for the kids on their street under their elderly neighbors’(the Watsons’) porch, Ellie quickly agrees to that, and everything else Tommy suggests. And when Tommy gives her a diamond necklace that he says he bought, she’s suspicious, though smitten. But by the time her parents forbid her from seeing him, she’s given him her heart. Soon, though, Tommy goes too far and even Ellie isn’t sure what to make of him.
Review:
"With her taut writing, Shreve creates an ideal outsider in Ellie, who gives voice to the inexplicable ennui of budding adolescence. The author tenderly evokes the thrill and anxiety of first love and the universal yearning to belong as she invites readers to form their own judgements about characters' motives and moralities."
Publishers Weekly, 07/19/2004
Review:"Provocative and understated, the sage of Ellie's summer vacation will find a receptive audience among preadolescents and the adults involved in their lives."
Timnah Card, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, July/August 2004
