One of the faraway places I've always wanted to go. When I was 14, my parents took me to the Maritime provinces. They let me pick whether I wanted to go to Prince Edward Island (Green Gables! Short ferry ride) or Newfoundland (long boat ride). Of course, I chose PEI but I've always wanted to see what I missed in Newfoundland. This is my favorite book set there. Although I do so love The Shipping News. #rockinmay #longlingwayfromhome
Bklover This sounds good! Stacked 😀 8y
Cinfhen Sort of like the vacation not taken...when my oldest son was turning 13 my hubby offered him a family trip to SA for safari or one of those ridiculous bar mitzvah parties, which of course he choose and I always remind him how he blew that decision.... 8y
Eggs I'm a sucker for cover art/colors. This looks good. 8y

Suzze @Cinfhen oh, I can imagine at 13, that party sounds like the best! But a safari! How cool would that have been? 8y
Suzze @Eggs I've seen different covers for this, but I like this one best. Fits the story. 8y
Cinfhen I know @Suzze ☹️☹️☹️with son number 2, we gave no choices and he had a very scaled back, low key party. He's been complaining of being "gipped" ever since. 8y
