(4) 4-6 It's nine-year-old Maddy's turn to visit Grandmère and have a bayou summer in Louisiana. Unfortunately, her visit coincides with the 2010 oil spill. The richly drawn characters, setting, and bayou community of the first half of the novel are undermined by a plot that turns magical--where fireflies and mermaids become the hope for saving one part of the Gulf.
