“In this graphic novel inspired by the author’s life, soon-to-be fourth grader Janey finds adventure living aboard her parents’ sailboat.
… Filled with lively, touching, and suspenseful vignettes, this story of an unusual childhood is distinctive for its authenticity and lack of romanticism. Accurate in all sailing details, the tale is both refreshing and stimulating. Smith’s luminous art vibrantly portrays the characters’ range of emotions and the book’s diverse settings.”
