I read this book aloud with my 10 and 13 year-olds. It was a wonderful read they each identified with one of the siblings in the book. I loved all of the references to my beloved PEI.
We got to meet Julianna Kozma and her family at a book signing at Charlottetown's Indigo. It took over an hour for my children to ask all of their questions to everyone. What a wonderful family.
A great quick read for anyone. There are numerous PEI references. Especially for those of us lucky enough to know the Twin Shores Campground and surrounding area.
