Amy is lonely following the departure of her best friend, and she's dreading a long summer in her tiny coastal Maine town. After befriending an orphaned seal pup, she gains a purpose--and two very different new (human) friends. Infused with a strong sense of place, this 1970s-set novel is a little ponderous but will have appeal for Amy's fellow animal lovers.
