Book Overview
After the tragic loss of their sister, Zack and his siblings band together to investigate a Morse Code-inspired mystery in this stunning novel about grief and resilience. When Zack's younger sister dies in a tragic accident, his family moves to a small town in the Northwest to try and heal from the pain. Vista Point is home to many mysterious landmarks, including the great domed stone Tower with its cryptic message hidden in the ceiling. Zack blames himself for his sister's death, and he struggles to find comfort in his new surroundings. Until he meets Ann, a girl who lives in the area and shows Zack all the special places to be discovered. But there's something that seems a bit strange about Ann--and perhaps a secret she is keeping from him. This masterful novel thoughtfully explores how a season of pain can evolve into a summer of healing. "Guterson does a splendid job of conjuring up the ideal setting for a classic summer story....An adventure that begs to be read by flashlight under bedcovers." --Booklist "Guterson sensitively explores Zack's journey toward self-forgiveness in this contemplative adventure." --Publishers Weekly "The fascinating cipher that ties it all together is the highlight of this wholesome, gentle story....An inspirational throwback for families seeking tales with a classic feel." --Kirkus Reviews

Middle Grade
Published by TinaLovesToRead , 2 years ago
This is a Middle Grade with some Magical Realism. This book took me a little bit to be pulled into the story. I love this story so much once I was pulled into it. There was so much going on in this book, but I think it was done so well. I also love the messages in this book. The characters were so great, and I really got to get to know all the characters. This was a very fun read with a little mystery and magical realism tossed into. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
