Secret Sisters of the Salty Sea by Lynne Rae Perkins

Jooles, Alix, and their parents go on vacation at the beach.

Did this book even have a plot? Not really. An average family goes on a beach vacation, they do inexpensive touristy things, they go home. I can see child readers who don’t mind a simple plot but want characters they can empathize with enjoying this book, especially if those readers are dreaming of a beach vacation. But I kept waiting for some sort of driving plot line, and there just isn’t one here. Pleasant enough, but meandering.

(Reviewed from an e-audiobook borrowed through my library system.)
