    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?

        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

      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 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 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.

      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.

      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 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 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”.

      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
