2011 Newbery honor book. I think this book was really well done. Nothing was very in depth but the whole thing just had a nice flow to it. I've never considered the people that call the keys home or how they have been affected by different eras in history, so I found that aspect of this book very enlightening. I like how Holm was able to weave in actual people/places/events, and knowing that she has relatives from the keys lets the reader know that she has a vested interest in getting the details right. This isn't the kind of book that I would rave about, but it was a nice read and it is a good introduction to historical fiction.
You will hurt yourself laughing.
to this day, still my favorite book in the world.
