Wild Blue Wonder

Carlie Sorosiak

Last June, Quinn’s family summer camp in Winship, Maine, seemed hopeful and magical. Wild blueberries appeared there regardless of season, a legendary sea monster might have lived in the water, and Quinn fell for her best friend, Dylan. After one tragic summer turns her world upside down, seventeen-year-old Quinn struggles with grief, guilt, and loss. A new boy then arrives in town as she faces the changed circumstances.
