(3) 4-6 In this pleasant summer adventure tale, Lebanese American Maria's mother transplants the two of them from the South Bronx to Martha's Vineyard to protect Maria from neighborhood bullies. Maria's nurse mother cares for a rich, elderly film director whom Maria befriends; she also joins forces with a local boy to sail and search for pirate treasure. Chalfoun's debut novel is filled with plenty of island atmosphere.
