About this listen

Book four of the Austin Family Chronicles, an award-winning young adult series from Madeleine L'Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, about a girl who experiences the difficulties and joys of growing up.

A Newbery Honor Book

"L'Engle has the magic storytelling gift that makes it a pleasure to lose yourself in her spell." (Newsweek)

After a tumultuous year in New York City, the Austins are spending the summer on the small island where their grandfather lives. He's very sick, and watching his condition deteriorate as the summer passes is almost more than Vicky can bear. To complicate matters, she finds herself as the center of attention for three very different boys.

Zachary Grey, the troubled and reckless boy Vicky met last summer, wants her all to himself as he grieves the loss of his mother. Leo Rodney has been just a friend for years, but the tragic loss of his father causes him to turn to Vicky for comfort - and romance. And then there's Adam Eddington. Adam is only asking Vicky to help with his research on dolphins. But Adam - and the dolphins - may just be what Vicky needs to get through this heartbreaking summer.

20 year old kissing a 15 year old

I like the Dolphins but I found it weird that a 20 year old was kissing 15 year old

One Of Her Best

This is probably my favourite Madeleine L'Engle book. I really love Vicky Austin, we have a lot in common. Swimming with dolphins was on my bucket list. I also write sonnets.
it was really good to see Adam Eddington again, but I could easily live without Zachary and Leo, because neither one appeals to me. I just don't relate to them.
However, even though they are so prominent, if you can ignore them, then you have a great story.
