In an eccentric, turreted vacation house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things that shouldn't be seen, while brothers and sisters, parents and theatrical older cousins fill the hot days with wine and tennis and sailing and planning a wedding. Enter two brothers, the sons of a fading film actress--irresistibly charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there's a serpent in this paradise, and the consequences will be devastating. In a propulsive narrative carrying intrigue and a growing sense of unease, Meg Rosoff, best-selling author of the iconic \u003ci\u003eHow I Live Now\u003c\/i\u003e, offers a summer tale of innocence lost that will find its place among the classics of young adult literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meg Rosoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1536215856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536215854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2021 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2021 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/30\/2021","brand":"Meg Rosoff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051518587135,"sku":"9781536215854","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28f7801b-58b6-4126-81ca-cb7c7c780b63.jpg?v=1685013579","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-godden-meg-rosoff-9781536215854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
