Customer Reviews

As much for Grown-ups as it is for the kids!

This is a truly lovely story about a woman who discovers a passion late in life for swimming--in the ocean no less. Lasky has created a Grandma I would like to have (the character's relationship with her grandchildren is wonderful) who serves as a terrific example of a smart, thoughtful, life-loving older adult--someone not often seen in modern literature of any kind.
