Reviews
Grade 4-6-- When Collette moves to Put-in-Bay Island for the first four months of the school year, she's ambivalent: she wants to be with her family, and she likes the island, but she had been looking forward to sixth grade with her friends. Five-year-old Stevie humiliates the family even before the Murphys get off the ferry, and everything is wrong with the new house. Worse, the island neighbors and classmates are aloof. Written in natural-sounding preteen dialogue and laden with adolescent preoccupations, the text includes ample whining about the Murphy kids' tough situation. Saving graces are the portrayal of a family bond that endures adversity and the gradual fleshing out of supporting characterizations. McKenna crafts a suspenseful conclusion in this fourth book about Collette and her family, and offers a satisfying resolution. --Carolyn Noah, Worcester Public Library, MA
