Over break I also read Sand Dollar Summer, by Kimberly K. Jones. This book is for a low reading level, but I needed a new book because I finished the other one. This book is about a 12 year old girl named Lise who is just becoming satisfied with everything in her life and then her mom gets in a car accident. She gets injured and can't walk for a while. This affects Lise a lot because her mom wants to go back to Maine where she grew up for the summer. Lise had been looking forward to summer with her friends. She can see her mom is very unhappy because of the accident, but lucky to be alive. At first she is scared of the ocean, and not happy to be there, but after time goes on she learns a lot of things about the past she never knew before. This summer turns out to be very life changing for her. There is a quote on the cover of the book that says " Don't ever doubt that a mere second can change your life forever." This relates to what Lise is going through because she was finally settled and comfortable with her life, and then her mom got in the accident. This changed everything for her, just by that one moment. This quote really is expressing to people not to take what they have for granted. In just one moment everything can change and never be the same again.
