Eleven-year-old Remy loves Seagate, the island where her grandmother had
a house and where her family spends every summer vacation. But this
year's different. Remy misses her dog, Danish, who recently passed away.
The usual Seagate traditions don't feel the same--and neither does her
relationship with her two best friends, Micayla and Bennett. Micayla's
family is moving to Seagate year-round, and she's spending more time
with the year-round kids. Bennett's doing "boy stuff" with new kid
Calvin and his snobby sister Claire. Remy takes comfort in the company
of Dog Beach--which is where she hatches her plan to bring her friends
closer and recapture the Seagate magic. This start of a new series is
filled with summer treats, activities, and the spirit of friendship and
invention that are Greenwald's trademarks.
Praise for Welcome to Dog Beach
"Remy's quiet tale of change and growth marks a promising start to a new
series."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Greenwald (My Summer of Pink & Green) gives Remy a candid and
relatable voice in this first book in the Seagate Summers series."
--Publishers Weekly
"Dog devotees and aspiring entrepreneurs will find a friend and mentor
in Remy, who adroitly combines her puppy love with a knack for business.
She'll also make a good companion for those self-serious tween readers
looking for a little sympathy on the perplexing and often unpleasant
road to adolescence."
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
