SEAGLASS SUMMER, by Anjali Banerjee (Wendy Lamb Books/Random House 2010)(ages 8-12). More than anything, eleven-year-old Poppy Ray wants to be a veterinarian. So she convinces her parents to let her spend the summer on an island in Washington state with her veterinarian uncle Sanjay, who runs the Furry Friends Animal Clinic.
Once there, she comes to realize that it isn't all just about what she can pull out of her black vet kit. It involves blood, emergencies, and occasionally, pain and sadness. But with the help of a piece of seaglass (for meditating) and a boy named Hawk, she just might muddle through and survive the summer.
SEAGLASS SUMMER is a sweet and affecting story of a girl pursuing her dream and overcoming the occasional bout of squeamishness.
One of the best things about blogging about children's books is that, once in awhile, a writer stops by.
Or, a super hip little creature by the name of Babymouse!* Jennifer L. Holm, of the Newbery honors and the great books (Penny From Heaven, the Babymouse series, Our Only May Amelia), sent babymouse our way along with a the newest Babymouse title, Babymouse: Heartbreaker. Thanks Jenni! And, many thanks to Matt Holm too, who brings the series to life with his humorous illustrations.
In other author news, Anjali Banerjee, whose Looking for Bapu my mother reviewed here, wrote in to say she's working on the websites included in the book. Awesome! Kids really like that type of interactivity.
And writer Liz Wu commented on my mother's review of Rosa Farm. Alice began the review with three questions:
- Was your favorite book as a child Charlotte's Web?
- Are you an animal lover?
- Did you read How the Rooster Stole the Sun
Liz wrote in and answered:
- Yes, Charlotte's Web was one of my favorite books growing up. I also loved all Roald Dahl.
- Yes, I love animals. I don't eat them, though.
- I haven't read How the Rooster Stole the Sun, but now feel like I should!
Thanks for stopping by, everyone. It's great to talk with you.

*Babymouse is so cool, my snarky 11-year-old daughter is pleased as punch to be seen with her.

Sweet! Yay, Babymouse and the Holms.
