The Summer of the Marco Polo

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kasia Charko. A shipwreck near Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, informs the events of the summer for young Lucy Maud Montgomery. Adapted from Montgomery's journals, the prose is contemplative but rambling and hampered by unexplained backstory. Luminous watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations capture moments frozen in time and faithfully depict P.E.I.'s particular beauty. An author's note is appended. Glos.
Reviewer: Claire E. Gross
