YA
Charlotte tries to reconcile her comfortable hometown life on a tiny island in Maine, her eccentric family, and her first love with the burning desire to leave it all behind and go to boarding school. Charlotte hides behind snappy repartee, which can be trying to her friends (and to readers). Wit, energy, and sometimes heart-wrenching situations fuel this quirky novel.
