![]() Tess and her younger sister are so excited to have a friend (possibly an older brother?), and can’t understand it when Aaron doesn’t return their enthusiasm. The storyline follows Tess and her family as they welcome 13-year-old, trumpet-playing Aaron. The island families decide to become foster parents, simultaneously giving good homes to children in need and adding enough children to the island to (hopefully) keep the school open. Their way of life is threatened when the state of Maine decrees there are too few children to continue operating the island school. Her father is a fisherman, her mother, a school teacher. Tess Brooks and her family live year-round on an island off the coast of Maine. Touch Blue is a quick, quiet, and utterly delightful middle grade novel perfect for a New England summer read. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was a conscious choice – I’ve been reading so much fantasy lately, I wanted something with a little touch of reality. This book is a departure from my usual reading fare. ![]()
