I thought this book would be a cute little story about a girl and her summer vacation. Wow, was I wrong! The main
character, eleven-year-old Lily is allowed to do what she wants at school and at home because of something that happened in the past that has left her mute and “not quite right in the head.” Since we are in Lily’s head in the book it
becomes clear that Lily is just fine and could talk if she wanted. She just doesn’t want to. Then Tinny arrives. Tinny sees Lily secretly reading a book and realizes that Lily is keeping her abilities from her family and friends. Tinny is a mystery to Lily and she comes to this small town with her own big secret. Lily loves a good mystery (Nancy Drew is her favorite) and sets out to figure out what Tinny’s secret is. So, this is not a cute little summer story. These characters have big problems to solve. I guarantee this book will surprise you in the end.
