Summary
Kevin Henkes: Olive's Ocean
The work of multiple award-winning author and illustrator of picture books and novels for children, Kevin Henkes is a coming-of-age story with realistic characters and strong emotions, winner of the prestigious Newbery Honor literary award for young people. "Olive's Ocean" will reward your child, and the child in you, with tenderness, sadness, joy and love.
Martha Boyle and Olive Barstow could have been friends. But now it's too late – all that's left after the tragic death of one of them are the mysterious connections between the girls who attended the same class and kept the same secrets without even knowing it. After Olive's mother gives Martha a part of her daughter's diary, she will realize how they could and should have been friends.
A twelve-year-old girl, who wants to be a writer and adores the ocean, will find out everything she needed to know about her former colleague on just one page: Olive also wanted to be a writer and see the ocean, and she hoped to get to know Martha better, because she was her favorite person in the whole class. And now Martha can't stop thinking about Oliva.
A family vacation on Cape Cod with Bakaba, Martha's grandmother, on the shores of the beloved ocean, should help banish such thoughts; but instead they seem to be everywhere. On the Cape, Martha realizes how things in her life are changing. She will kiss for the first time, experience her first betrayal, but also become aware of her own and other people's aspirations, worries and dreams.
