The Merryweathers

The Merryweathers

Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards

Children & Young Adult Reading, Novels

Two cousins arrive at a lakeside camp for what promises to be the summer of their lives. Margaret and Peggy Montfort step into a world of golden mornings, boat rides across still water, and the kind of adventures that only happen when the school year ends and the long days stretch ahead. The Merryweather family welcomes them with open arms, but making new friends and finding your place in an unfamiliar household takes its own kind of courage. Through campfire stories, shared secrets, and the small tensions of living together, Margaret discovers what it means to belong to something larger than herself. Written with the gentle wit and observational precision that made Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards a beloved voice in children's literature, this story captures that specific magic of summer: the way new places become home, and how the friends we make shapes who we become. Perfect for readers who loved Anne of Green Gables and anyone who believes that the best summers change you forever.
