Publishers Weekly BEST Books for Summer 2016
"Sea Change is like a dip in cold Canadian waters: just step inside,
and soon you're completely swept away, finding yourself overwhelmed and
breathless, entranced by this whirlwind of a book. Bravo, Frank Viva.
And glub, glub, glub." - Lemony Snicket, author of A Series of
Unfortunate Events
"Truly heartbreaking! Viva ingeniously weaves words and pictures to
evoke that strange, wonderful moment - when the very worst experience of
your life somehow becomes the very best." - Chip Kidd, author of
Only What's Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts
One summer can change your whole life. As soon as school lets out,
Eliot's parents send him to the very edge of the world: a fishing
village in a remote part of Nova Scotia. And what does the small town of
Point Aconi have to offer? Maggots, bullies and grumpy old men. But
along the way, Eliot discovers much more--a hidden library, starry
nights and a mysterious girl named Mary Beth. See Point Aconi through
Eliot's eyes, as he finds that this place he never wanted to visit is
becoming a home he doesn't want to leave.
