It's a shame there are no other reviews here. This is one of Peter Dickinson's best non-series adult 'mysteries.' The quote marks are necessary because he never does just one thing in his books, and the mystery is often framed completely differently than the genre dictates. Here he's really exploring the nature of class differences and giving a skimpy but revealing reinterpretation of Marxism--and also love. But don't get put off by that. The story moves, the characters are interesting and the exploration of them gets to some depths, and some scenes are delights. I think Dickinson is the best, or at least most creative, mystery writer there is, and this book is in his top 10. That puts it a notch above anything by Dick Francis (whom I like a lot), all of Sue Grafton, nearly all of Dorothy Sayers, nearly all of Laurie King (ditto for all of them).... And Dickinson is many orders of magnitude better than hacks like Patterson, Grisham, etc.

A clever, funny, and winsome coming-of- age story. Jenny wants to fall in love--preferrably with someone handsome and rich! Having Craig and his mother rent rooms in her house doesn't exactly fall into her carefully made plans. Though he is awkward and insecure, Craig still knows how to get on her nerves like no one can. Whenever Craig is around, Jenny is sure to lose her temper or burst into tears. So, she is surprised to discover that she actually has feelings for him. But will stiff competition to win an amazing scholarship jeopardize their chances to find love and each other

Alright so my friend let me barrow this book off of her and I was a little hesitant at first to read it. But hey it turned out to be a really good book. The ending is not really to my taste. it kind of stops.(At least it seemed to me) But yea I reacomend it!

This book was so wonderful. I don't know what make me check it out at the library because it was old and not at all colorful but once I started reading I could not put it down. I was swept away to another time and place. The characters were so warm and full of life. I recommended it to several who really enjoyed it also.

This book tells of all the fun things legs do during the summer from swimming and bike riding to ice cream drips and bug bites. Kids of all ages love to read this book because even in winter it gives them a little bit of summer sunshine.

This book was great! I didn't read the 1st book in the series but i knew what had happened just by reading this book. I wasn't left in the dark. The author had a great way of making me feel like I was part of the story. In the end I was so involved, there were parts that i cried. This book was truley wonderful and I wish that I could go to Silver Beach.

My husband is Norwegian (moved here from Oslo to marry me). We live in Toronto, ON, Canada!

He often shared stories and stories of how norwegians were and its so funny and entertaining to hear these exact stories in this book.

Its a quick read and you can visualize those beautiful fjords, mountains and off-the-beaten-track trecks you see NOrwegians On

I'd fully recommend it!!

I studied this book for literature when I was in high school and thoroughly enjoyed it. Each story focuses on the lives of children from different economical and social backgrounds in Jamaica, each one experiencing a different form of conflict as they face a critical stage of their development. Most of the stories are written in Jamaican dialect which is rich and colorful allowing the reader a great insight into rural Jamaica and the way of life that is unique to the scenes of the stories.

I'm a big Hey Arnold fan! It's my favorite TV show. I really want the book too. Anyway, I heard it's about when Arnold goes to the beach for summer vacation.

Then, Helga comes along to the beach and finds out Summer's not the nice, lovely lil' lady Arnold thought she was. In fact, Arnold is falling right into Summer's trap!![...] Will Helga warn her true love about Summer's nasty plan? Or is Arnold in for the worst "Summer" of his life? read to find out!!![...]
