Once they’re safe on board, a fourth baby, Ann Elizabeth, is handed to Mary by her father, while he goes back for her poodle. Only the Snodgrass adults are missing, so Mary hands Jean baby Jonah and she grabs twins Elisha and Elijah and all five children head for the lifeboats. Mary though, is a determined young lady, and she remembers that there are even younger children than them traveling, so she gets Jean out of bed and they head off to help rescue the Snodgrass babies. Alone in their cabin, no one remembers them when a tropical storm hits and the ship goes down.
Mary Wallace and her younger sister Jean are on their way to Australia to meet their father on an ocean liner. (That one may be coming though!) So, I settled on Baby Island, by Carol Ryrie Brink.
I’d already done The Worry Week (which was reviewed a couple weeks ago), and I couldn’t find my copy of Gone Away Lake to re-read. I was trying and trying to think of a great summer read that was set in the summer for this particular entry.
