Carly Chambers has a secret--one she's been carefully guarding all her life. With her family constantly on the move and her father's harsh rules keeping her close to home, it had been an easy secret to keep. Until now. This summer in Oceanside, a beach town on the Jersey coast, everything is unraveling.
“...quite involving...solid, well-paced tale...” School Library Journal
“...a hard-hitting, realistic story...” Midwest Book Review
“A tale that will hold readers until the end.” Booklist
“…poignant and tender coming-of age novel…The setting of the novel is beautifully portrayed…The suspenseful plot quietly builds, allowing the author time to finely articulate the development of each character. Fans of Cynthia Voigt’s coming-of-age stories will enjoy this fine addition to the genre.” VOYA
