This story is told from an 11 years point of view. She lives on an island with her family and they do lobster fishing. The school is in danger of closing and they need more students , so some of the island families decide to foster some kids and keep the school open. This books also mentions some other books that dealt with orphans and being a new place. Tess wants to be friends with the boy that comes to live them. They have many things in common. There is also mention of Anne of Green Gables.
Family is important and this book touches on that there are many different families and not always can kids live with their parents. Tess shows him the island and they slowly become friends and she will do anything to help him out.
I know I'm not the target audience for this book but it had cute chapter titles through out the book and little lobster.
