Reluctant 12-year-old spends a summer with relatives in a tiny Nova Scotia village. He is forever changed.
Charming and funny and some great graphics too. Grade 4 and up. Would make a nice family read aloud.

I love the way Frank Viva incorporates words into his illustrations. And I love that the gray-haired lady is a badass. ❤️
I couldn't imagine things getting any worse. Then I saw the beach towel with the girly pink mermaid on it. "What is that?" I asked.
"It's your new beach towel, honey," said my mom.
The idea of dying on the plane no longer interested me, because it wasn't soon enough.
An illustrated middle grade story of a boy who dreads being sent to distant relatives in Nova Scotia, but ends up having a magical summer. BEAUTIFUL.
