The Sea in Winter
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?

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

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.
