Bookroo's summary

Martha, reeling from her mother's death and her father's new marriage, feels trapped in Oak Grove. With her friends, Trevor and Eli, who yearn for the ocean, they embark on a journey to find where they truly belong. As they navigate their way through challenges and dreams, they uncover the surprising essence of home. Will their quest lead them to the ocean or somewhere even more profound? Join Martha, Trout, and Eel as they redefine what it means to belong.

From the publisher

Three friends in search of a place to belong find that home is truly where the heart is in this new tale of enchantment from best-selling master storyteller Alice Hoffman.13 year-old Martha Glimmer is convinced this is the worst time of her life. Her mother died, she grew 7 inches, and she has to put up with a woman who plys Martha’s lonely father with food and opinions about how 13 year-old girls should behave. Martha longs to leave Oak Grove and travel. Martha’s best friend Trevor and his brother Eli also want to leave Oak Grove. Nicknamed Trout and Eel because of the thin webbing between their fingers and toes, they long to see the ocean. Together, Martha, Trout, and Eel are going to find the true meaning of home – in very unexpected places.
