7th Blog Post

Over spring break I went to California! It was a lot of fun but I didn't have much time to read so I am going to blog about a book I have read in the past its a short book but I really enjoyed it. The name of the short story is Gifts From The Sea by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock. I got this book because of the cover. I am totally someone who judges a book by a cover. My philosophy is if the book doesn't look appealing why read it? The cover shows the ocean and a hill with a little white and red house above the sea. The background is a warm peach color that fades into a teal. This cover made me want to read the book.
The short story is about a girl named Quila who has just recently lost her mother. She lives with her father on the hill so he can take care of the lighthouse. One day a baby girl comes a float to their shore and the father and Quila name her Cecelia which means the title of the book Gifts From The Sea. Another person comes float a couple of years later and knows Cecilia. How does this stranger know Cecilia? Will he or she destroy everything that Cecilia has mended between Quila and her Father's lives? Read this book to quench your curiosity, it will take only a couple of hours.
