Gr 4–7—Remy returns to Seagate Island for another fun summer of dog-sitting, beach-going, and reconnecting with her pals. Though there's some tension on the horizon—friend drama, a boy friend who might be turning into a boyfriend, and a possible hurricane—it's nothing Remy can't handle. Featuring a relatable protagonist straddling the divide between childhood and adolescence, this light and sweet novel is the ideal beach read for the younger set.
Twelve-year-old Remy returns to Seagate with plans to revive her dog-sitting business and figure out if her feelings for friend Bennett might be more; a forced evacuation complicates things. While the narrative lacks tension, Greenwald applies a light touch to issues such as divorce, giving readers a chance to comfortably eavesdrop on Remy's questions and search for answers.
