Someday I'Ll Laugh About This — Linda Crew

Twelve-year-old Shelby has always looked forward to vacations at the family's beach cabin on the Oregon coast, but this year, everything's different. Everything's wrong. Why do so many things have to be changing all at once?

"With insight and sensitivity, Crew captures the pain of growing up, along with it's inherent humor.Lively, believable characters, universal experiences and Shelby's own narration of her summer highlight this uplifting story." Publisher's Weekly

"The author of Children of the River has created a wonderfully complex character in Shelby...Crew invigorates her plot with a fully realized setting and people who interact with the grace of real family members." Kirkus

"Underlying everything is the story's celebration of family and its capacity to support and sustain even in the midst of squabble and irritating idiosyncrasies." Booklist
