Summary: Thirteen-year-old Siena's visions of the past intensify when her family moves to the Maine coast hoping her little brother will begin speaking, and she connects with residents of the house from many years earlier who faced a similar problem.
Review: I was really impressed with not only the storyline but the character development as well. While Lucca does not talk, you can still get a great sense of what he is feeling by the way he is described throughout the book. Every little action means something; and while Siena is there to decipher his actions, you can feel what he means as a reader. While this is a historical fiction book, it feels somewhat magical with Siena being able to see the past through Sarah’s pen and Joshua's life through her dreams. Overall, I was very impressed with the way the past and the present were wound together so well and it really made an impact on the story. It was very well written and all the emotions that the characters were feeling really came across well.
