The Callahan Cousins: Summer Begins

(4) 4-6 The four Callahan cousins spend the summer with their wealthy grandmother on a New England island. The girls are secretly determined to revive a dormant family rivalry, which involves them in learning to sail and researching family history. Although the author attempts emotional depth, the book is a superficial tale of preteens with a wish-fulfilling degree of freedom.
