Title: outstanding
Product review: It's a shame when a book like this is marked ages "8-12" because I'm afraid it keeps the very people (those of us who are supposedly Grown Ups) who may most need to read it from ever giving it a try. This is a wonderful book. The format is extremely appealing (journal entries that bounce between Sophie and her cousin Cody), and helps to set up early on a question that keeps the reader wondering until the end. The author uses enough words to give the feeling of being on the ocean, without bludgering the reader with overly descriptive passages. The ending is unexpected and moving. After this and Walk Two Moons, I'm off to read Sharon Creech's other works. I recommend this to everyone.
