Sometimes life can change in an instant Martha Boyle and Olive Barstow could have been friends, but they weren't. Weeks after a tragic accident, all that is left are eerie connections between the two girls, former classmates who both kept the same secret without knowing it. Now, even while on vacation at the ocean, Martha can't stop thinking about Olive. Things only get more complicated when Martha begins to like Jimmy Manning, a neighbor boy she used to despise. What is going on? Can life for Martha be the same ever again? Kevin Henkes lives in Madison, Wisconsin. His novels include The Birthday Room, Protecting Marie, Sun and Spoon, Two Under Par, Words of Stone, The Zebra Wall, and the Newbery Honor Book Olive's Ocean. Among his acclaimed picture books are the Caldecott Medal winner Kitten's First Full Moon, the New York Times best-seller Wemberly Worried, the Caldecott Honor Book Owen, and the beloved Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. This exquisite 'New York Times' bestselling coming-of-age story--a Newbery Honor Book and an ALA Notable Children's Book--is now available in paperback. |
