Exploring Grief and Growth in Loon Cove Summer

Donna Galanti’s books have inadvertently been on vacation with us twice now. The first was an emerging reading chapter book about unicorns. As a point of reference, I read Unicorn Island and found it to be mixed in with enough action and mystery to latch in kids, but mainly girls, aged eight and up. Loon Cove Summer snuck in our beach bag this year and mainly hammers that audience, but with one big difference.

Resistance is futile

Unicorn Island, a mid-elementary action horned reader

I’m at the beach, reading a book for mid- elementary-aged and up students about unicorns. Shouldn’t I be putting my feet in the sand, walking, and looking for shells or something? Instead, I’m under an umbrella, willingly reading Unicorn Island, and enjoying it immensely. I could speed read it, but I’m taking my time reading the book, digging into the vivid descriptions and adventure that Sam is experiencing in Foggy Harbor.
