Pine Island Home
Author: Polly Horvath
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 9+
When the McCready sisters lose their parents to a tsunami, their Great Aunt Martha agrees to take them in on Pine Island in British Columbia - but Martha dies unexpectedly before they arrive. To keep social services from splitting them up, eldest sister Fiona hatches a plan that depends on no one learning the girls are living alone.
She persuades their gruff neighbour Al to pose as their guardian in exchange for a nightly dinner, and shoulders ever more adult responsibility as she waits to be found out. Told with Polly Horvath's gentle humour, this is a story about sisterhood and what makes a family.
