INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Atkinson, Elizabeth

The Island of Beyond

(3) 4-6 To help eleven-year-old Martin be more of "a normal boy," his father leaves him at an elderly aunt's island home in Maine. There the unathletic, creative boy meets the few inhabitants--including wild child Solo--and experiences a summer of secrets, friendships, and growth. Martin's feelings are conveyed with aching honesty as he learns there are all kinds of "normal."
