Stories from the ragged Maine coast
Nine wild stories.
One small town.
Meet the kids and creatures of Halftide—where every animal belongs, every mistake matters, and the whole cove remembers.
The Chronicles of Stinky Cove
A series about what happens when a town pays attention.
Nine linked middle-grade stories bring young readers close to Maine wildlife—and closer still to the complicated kids trying to do the right thing.
