Praise for Summer of the Wolves: Blended families that resist blending are a middle-grade-fiction staple, but this funny, gentle and compassionate story feels fresh, thanks to appealing, closely observed characters, both major and minor, and a compelling setting...A fresh take on an old story. -Kirkus Reviews Introducing Winter's Tide, the eagerly awaited culmination to the successful Sisters in All Seasons series by award-winning juvenile fiction author Lisa Williams Kline. Winter's Tide, book four in the series, finds stepsisters Diana and Stephanie continuing to learn from life and from each other. In the middle of a hard winter and a terrible accident, the sisters are united when they come to the aid of a beached whale on the North Carolina shoreline. Yet their relationship is severely tested when Stephanie's brother is in a car accident, and the truth behind Diana's nickname emerges. More difficult lessons await, but there are gifts in the hardships, including the power of honesty, forgiveness, and faith. The Sisters in All Seasons series shares compelling stories rooted in the trials of a blended family and the adventures that help bring them together. Told through the alternating perspectives of the two main characters, the writing of Lisa Williams Kline remains age-appropriate for tween readers while not shying away from topics including divorce, remarriage, and mental health issues. Each book features an environmental sub-plot set against the backdrop of a season of the year. Appealing to nature lovers, animal lovers, and tween readers looking for absorbing fiction, Winter's Tide brings a satisfying conclusion to a popular series.
