Root Beer Candy and Other Miracles by Shari Green
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this book for the #MGBookChat this Monday 3/23/20 at 9PM EST to discuss novels in verse for middle grades, come join us! This is Shari Green's (@sharigreen) 2nd novel in verse I have read (and loved) and the whole beauty of the sea, seashore, the townspeople , new friends, new family kept me turning the pages! Bailey and her brother are plopped with their grandmother (who they never see) on the West Coast seashore town of Felicity Bay. Her parents have been fighting for a long time and are attending a couples camp to try and rescue their family and marriage. But the longer Bailey and her brother remain in Felicity Bay, the more they love their grandmother and have hopes their parents will reconcile. I loved Bailey's friendship with Daniel, who had cystic fibrosis and her belief in the mermaid who is made of driftwood, as the symbol of making miracles happen, because Bailey is hoping for many miracles this summer. A must read, there is beauty and heartache but Bailey never gives up hope.
