Synopses & Reviews
Ben isn't too excited about spending the summer with his grandmother at her old, rickety beach house. The doors and shutters are creaky, the lock is rusty, and the garage is covered with spider webs. But when Ben and Grandma spend a fun day at the beach, picnicking and splashing in the surf, Ben sees that he might share his grandmother's love of her summer cottage after all. Detailed watercolors bring this sweet, satisfying intergenerational story to life.
"A terrific story about place and connections across time. Readers will want to stay, smell the salt air, and learn more from Grandma."
-Kirkus Reviews
"A satisfying picture book with story-hour potential."
