I enjoyed this book. As Charlie embarks on a summer with her Grandmother, she has no idea of the excitement and intrigue that is in store for her. As she explores her unfamiliar surroundings, Charlie uncovers secrets about the town and about her own family history. In the process, she also learns a lot about her own capabilities and about the nature of family and relationships.
