If you liked "Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes" ...

Mrs. Ross emailed to let me know that she just finished a book by Maureen Johnson, the author of Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes. It is called Girl at Sea. She said it was "very good." And she is not alone. My two favorite review sources took time to review it as well. Common Sense Media gives it a green light and Booklist recommends it as a "perfect summer read." Sounds like a keeper!
