Truly amazing. Plus the cover is brilliant. Twelve year old Martha Boyle had just decided to become a novelist like her father. She hasn’t told him yet, she didn’t want him to feel like she was copying his life. She plans to tell him before their trip to Cape Cod to visit grandmother but something happens before they leave. Olive Barstow, Martha's classmate, has just died. She was struck by a car while riding her bike. Olive's mother shows up at Martha's house handing her a piece of paper from Olive's journal. Olive wants to be a writer and become Martha's friend. Martha feels somehow she has to help Olive even though she is dead. Growing up, talking to her father and boys are all on Martha’s mind. Venture to Cape Code with Martha and capture the ocean in a bottle.
Colorful characters, suspenseful, brilliant labyrinth of clues and hints with a satisfying and thrilling climax. A murder mystery. Guys and gals ages 10 and up. Adult crossover!
