The book is a realistic fiction story in Penobscot Bay, Maine.In the story it is summer and when summer ends a hurricane knocks on the front door and opens it. I loved the beautiful pictures and maybe you will too. After the hurricane was done a lot of seaweed came near their house so the girls shoveled up the seaweed to use it for fertilizer used for the garden.I hope you love it.

I think this book really helps you picture what you wold see if you were there.I really liked how Robert Mccloskey used allot of sensory details.My favored picture was the one wen all the kids where playing on the rocks.

I thought Mr.Robert McCloskey tried to paint pictures in our heads by his words. Even though his real pictures were incredible.I think he is a good author and illustrator, and that is probably why he got the Caldecott Medal and got me and others to like his book.
