Book description
It's summer 1950, and for 11-year-old French Canadian Sophie
LaGrange, Camp Latona on British Columbia's Gambier Island promises to
be pure bliss. But then Sophie has to buddy up with a strange,
unfriendly Jewish refugee girl named Ginette and things go sour. Soon
Sophie learns that Ginette has her own secrets and anxieties, worries
that explain the girl's seemly bizarre behaviour.
Norma Charles is the author of the bestselling picture book,
See You Later, Alligator, and 11 previous children's novels,
including the Sophie Alias Star Girl adventures with Dundurn, The
Accomplish (nominated for a Sheila A. Egoff Award), and All the
Way to Mexico (winner of the Chocolate Lily Award). She lives in Vancouver.
