Bookroo's summary

Ben is unsure about the old seaside house with its creaky doors and chilly surf. But as he bonds with Grandma, exploring the beach and playing checkers, he discovers the magic hidden in its walls. What secrets does this house hold, and how will it change Ben's view of summer forever?

From the publisher

At first Ben has his doubts the old house by the sea where he and Grandma have come to stay. The doors and shutters are creacky, there’s only a wood stove for cooking and heat, and the garage is filled with the discards of many years. But as he and Grandma establish their special rapport, exploring the beach and testing the icy surf, playing checkers and snuggling in to wait out a storm, Ben begins to understand the magic of this place that holds the memories of many happy summers.
