Written by Christine Day
Ages 8-12 | 272 Pages
Publisher: HarperCollins | ISBN-13: 9780063078222
Publisher: In this evocative and heartwarming novel for readers who loved The Thing About Jellyfish, the author of I Can Make This Promise tells the story of a Native American girl struggling to find her joy again.
It’s been a hard year for Maisie Cannon, ever since she hurt her leg and could not keep up with her ballet training and auditions.
Her blended family is loving and supportive, but Maisie knows that they just can’t understand how hopeless she feels. With everything she’s dealing with, Maisie is not excited for their family midwinter road trip along the coast, near the Makah community where her mother grew up.
But soon, Maisie’s anxieties and dark moods start to hurt as much as the pain in her knee. How can she keep pretending to be strong when on the inside she feels as roiling and cold as the ocean?

I love when a book cover makes you want to rip open a book. This book not only looks inviting but I think it would make a great family read
These sound amazing!
Would love to receive this.

I’d love to win because my grandson and granddaughter would love these books! Thanks
Love to win this book for my grandchildren who are avid readers
After spending a little bit of time in the American southwest – particularly in Native American museums – I have deepened my appreciation for this culture. I look forward to reading this new story and sharing it with my community library to share with our younger patrons.
My youngest two granddaughters have really enjoyed reading especially having to stay at home. We read to each other via video chat (we live on opposite sides of the country) and it would be fun to either have them read to me or vice versa <3
I am a reader and wnated to make sure my great niece loved books. I got her first book before she was born. And she loves her books
My two granddaughters would love these books! They really love to read and these books sound exciting!
i would like to give the book to my sister.

My Grand daughter has a birthday soon and these books would make a perfect gift for a voracious reader like her!
This sounds like a great seasonal read!
I have a Great Grand Daughter these books would be very appropriate for.
Would love to add this to our library!
I would love it for my kids.
We love these books.
This sounds like a wonderful book. It’s just what the girls are always asking me to recommend in library class – a book that makes them feel!
My daughter and I love to read diverse middle school books – we enjoyed I Can Make This Promise and it would be great to have copies of both of these books!
I think my grandson would love these books.
I just love the cover I know that many of my 10 grandchildren would love to read this. Also the in kids classrooms would be a good idea to stock one in there as I am sure that the students will take and read as they will identify with the little girl on the front.
These books seem perfect for the winter season. I miss the going to the library.
I can not wait to read this book. I love the illistrations in your other books and I am sure this will not leave me disappointed.
My grandchildren would love this book
Great books for my grandkids
My granddaughters would love these books, they both love reading.
I would love to win this giveaway because the illustrations look fabulous and my nieces love to read!
This covers a topic that most students are hesitant to talk about – what happens when you can’t do something that you love. I’m sure many of my 4th grade students will be able to relate to the main character.
I would like to win these books for my nephew.
I know a young lady who would love to read this book.
I have two grandsons that are the right age for this book. I would love for them to hear this voice and I would love to read it with them.
I would love this for my library!
I would love to add this book to the books I read to my grandchildren.
I like to read to my grand children.
I think my 9 year old granddaughter would like this.
These books would be great for winter reading for my niece and nephews.
I have read so many soaring reviews of “The Sea in Winter”. It feels like the right time to share it with a very special girl in my life, along with the equally anticipated “I Can Make You This Promise”.
Id love to win because i have several grandchildren who love to read
This would be a good book to talk about mental health.
I am interested and would love to win this book because it is set in the area where I grew up. I think I would love this book and would be sure to share it with my granddaughter and/or the local school
My grandkids are missing out on a lot this year. This book might help them understand how to cope.
