Illustrated by
Julia Denos.
Lexie's father asks a "friend," Vicky, and her two sons, to join their father-daughter vacation. All of a sudden Lexie feels like a visitor in her own summer home. Small details define the novel, told from Lexie's introspective point of view. Couloumbis wisely doesn't end with everyone living happily ever after, suggesting instead that Lexie just makes the best of her situation.
