  "Absorbing ... Bittersweet ... A trio of friends who have enjoyed childhood island summers for years find that suddenly, everything is changing." — Booklist 
  "A skillful blending of the themes of adolescence, changing friendships, and old age." — The Horn Book 
  "Impressive ... A summer Roller coaster."— the Macon Beacon  
  Thirteen-year-old Ronnie (Veronica) was looking forward to summer on Harbor Island with her best friends, Mia and Charlie. The trio called themselves "the Clamdiggers," because they were as close as clams. They did everything together: boating, waterskiing, fishing, swimming, and playing their favorite after-dark game—spying on the Island's residents. But now, Ronnie finds that Mia and Charlie are growing up faster than she is, and the Clamdiggers seem to be falling apart. Ronnie finds solace in the company of Fern, an eighty-three-year-old retired concert pianist and the island's eccentric cat lady who likes to roam the island's wild places. Ronnie keeps her friendship with Fern a secret, and discovers that Fern has secrets of her own. 
  "Vivid, evocative ... Ronnie's impulsive actions, her discomfort with the changes in her friends, and her need to find new companionship will be understood by many middle-school age readers." — VOYA Magazine
