Disclaimer: I listened to the audiobook. The narrator was AMAZING.
Clara lives on an island in a little community called Sycamore. Everyone knows everyone and their business. You can't get away with anything. Her family has been here forever. Her uncle lives in the big house at the top of the hill and he is pretty much an outcast and they call him a witch doctor. Clara's best friend Gaynah is starting to get on Clara's nerves and Clara is sick of her. She feels Gaynah doesn't treat her right and puts her down because Clara can't remember what happened last summer. A new girl is coming to the island, Rudy. Clara begins to make friends with Rudy-from-New-York and in doing so becomes a little more adventurous.
I LOVED this book. I laughed and cried and became invested in Clara. I knew her. The author (and narrator) did a great job describing Clara so we could know her. She also kept me reading to find out what happened that Clara forgot and it does have a twisty ending with a little mystery.
