Seagate Summers series.
Twelve-year-old Remy returns to Seagate with plans to revive her dog-sitting business and figure out if her feelings for friend Bennett might be more; a forced evacuation complicates things. While the narrative lacks tension, Greenwald applies a light touch to issues such as divorce, giving readers a chance to comfortably eavesdrop on Remy's questions and search for answers.

Seagate Summers series.
Eleven-year-old Remy has spent every summer on Seagate Island; this year, as her friends mature, she is caught between preserving their summertime traditions and letting herself evolve. Greenwald's grasp of social nuance is strong, but her idealization of Seagate wears thin. The cast of characters provides some diversity, however, and this new series promises breezy (if low-tension) beach reading.
