Saved at Sea by O.F. Walton tells of a grandfather and grandson, whom find a young girl, Timpey. Little did they know she would provide wonderful companionship, and put them “on the rock.”This story is descriptive, intense, and heartwarming. I suggest this book to anyone who enjoys edge-of-your-seat, yet uplifting stories.

Did you ever read a book that created suspense so thoroughly you scarcely even realized the all the great examples it was setting? A book that rapidly comes to mind for me is Marjorie by Sidney Baldwin.

Sent to live on Monhegan Island with her old nurse, Lucy, while her parents must head to warm climate for her father’s health. At first, she is a bit spoiled which gets on Dan’s nerves. But over time Marjorie grows in health and attitude.

Something I liked about Marjorie was the characters. Also, the little island on the seaside made it all together a nice old-fashioned setting; even if the storm were disturbing.

Overall, I suggest this book to those who enjoys one with character development, curiosity, or a short plot and a small geography lesson.
