(3) 4-6 During a six-week visit with her family to a seaside Rhode Island town with a "hidden, half-forgotten" pond, preteen Jessie takes to rafting with local girl Terri. Terri's father is abusive and her family as a whole is subject to not-always-justified suspicion. This atmospheric novel is full of well-developed characters whose lives are informed by slowly revealed secrets from the past.
