Strawberry Hill — A. LaFaye

Raleia doesn't feel like she belongs in the modern world. And she doesn't feel like she belongs with her hippie parents, either. So when her family moves to Tidal, Maine, Raleia is excited to be in town with some history -- especially one that was demolished by a tidal wave in 1911. But her parents don't understand her preoccupation with the past, or her need to be "from" somewhere. Instead, Raleia finds herself turning to Mr. Rutherford, the sad, reclusive old man who lives on Strawberry Hill. Can he help her find a time and place of her own?
