Fouteen-year-old Clementine has left her city life in Boston to spend the winter on Martha’s Vineyard. She’s what the locals call a “Washashore” … someone who’s come to live on the Island but isn’t from there. An outsider.
Clem doesn’t have any friends and doesn’t fit in. Her mom and dad aren’t getting along. Coco, her best friend, is three hours away.
But then Clem finds a fallen bird — an osprey — on the beach. And she meets a lonely boy named Daniel.
And everything changes . . .
This year, everything changes for Clementine Harper.
“A tender-hearted story that calls out to save what we love so much.”
“An adventure story in every sense of the word—the adventure, especially, of coming of age on an aging planet.”
“The prose brings to life the era of the 1970s, but Goldsmith’s themes are timeless and will resonate with teens and adults alike.”
