The Corner House Girls on Palm Island

Four sisters. One island. A summer that changes everything. When Ruth, Agnes, Tess, and Dot Kenway set out for Palm Island, they expect sunshine and sea air. What they find is richer: three lost children in the woods, a father injured and in need of help, and a mystery that will test their courage. From a chestnut grove where mysterious sounds set imaginations soaring to the shores of an island paradise, the Corner House girls must draw on every ounce of wit and loyalty they possess. This is adventure dressed in pinafores and sensible shoes. Written in 1921, this installment in the Kenway sisters series captures something rarer than mere nostalgia: it celebrates girlhood as a time of fierce, capable, tender becoming. For readers who loved Anne of Green Gables and want more.
