Omschrijving

Look Both Ways meets Seedfolks in this masterful novel from two titans of kid lit that follows a diverse cast of young people whose lives intersect in surprising and hilarious ways over the course of a summer day.

Here’s what’s so cool about the beach. Kids are everywhere! Kids you know, kids you want to know. Wandering from one blanket to another, from one family to another. Somebody’s mom reads a fat summer novel. Somebody’s dad snores with an iPad on his chest. Babies cry. Girls laugh. Frisbee players whoop! Kites in the perfect blue sky.

Some kids bodysurf. Some don’t even like the water. They build sand cities for their friends and sand jails for the grown-ups, and when the tide comes in everything gets washed away.

There’s the other world, where all kids hear is tomorrow, next week, next year. And then there’s the beach, where everything is right now!

Why can’t every day be a day at the beach?

From two-time Newbery honoree Gary D. Schmidt and two-time PEN Award winner Ron Koertge comes a moving and often laugh-out-loud funny coming of age middle grade novel about family, friendship, and belonging, told from multiple perspectives by a group of kids spending a day at the beach. These thoughtful vignettes, each a slice of life, brilliantly weave together an irresistible tale of tween conflict and connections.

One beach. One day. A dozen different stories.

Interconnected Stories: Watch as a lost phone, a Frisbee toss, and a sand castle contest bring a whole cast of kids together in surprising and hilarious ways. Friendship and Belonging: From finding a new friend to standing up to a bully, discover the small moments of courage that make you feel like you belong. Funny and Heartwarming: A masterful tale that’s often laugh-out-loud funny and deeply moving, capturing the feeling that at the beach, everything is right now. Perfect Summer Read: Told in thoughtful vignettes, this is the ideal book for young readers to dive into on a warm day, whether they’re by the water or just dreaming of it.
