review 1: Set in a quaint coastal town in Maine, this coming-of-age story presents a timeless tale of friendship, teamwork and community responsibility. This book is filled with realized, relatable characters. Amy Anderson is the shy protagonist. The quirky Miss Cogshell is dubbed Old Coot by the town’s children. And the mysterious Craig, the most popular boy in class who doesn’t have any real friends. One day, Craig finds a stranded, injured seal pup and asks Amy to help him, and the three come together to save Pup. This book reminds me in many ways of Hoot, the 2003 Newbery Honor by Carl Hiaasen.
review 2: Amy is a bit of a loner with no friends. Then she starts hanging out at Miss Cogshell's house. Craig is not a loner, but he doesn't seem to have any true friends... more. When Craig finds a baby seal he asks Amy for help. They end up taking care of the seal pup at Miss Cogshell's house and become attached to each other. This is a story about friendship and responsibility and finding your place in the world. less
