Which books would our Bookends authors want with them on a Desert Island? Part of the Bookends Beach Party series.

Lucy Daniels, author of Summer at Hope Meadows

When she was about ten, my daughter created a book for her five year old brother. She condensed all three of Mary O’Hara’s “Flicka” stories into a few pages and drew illustrations as he couldn’t actually read. For months, it was the only thing I was allowed to read for him at bedtime. If I could choose only one book, it would be that one.
