SEVEN TEARS INTO THE SEA by Terri Farley

Description: I read this while flying between Bangor and San Francisco. Ms. Farley was right to venture into new territory. She has written a highly enjoyable story about what is real and what isn't. Gwen has spent seven years trying to determine the difference while dealing uncomfortably with her perception of how others in her life view her following her mysterious encounter at the edge of the sea when she was ten.
Now she is back, helping her grandmother at the inn overlooking the very spot where she encountered the mysterious boy in the midnight surf. Was he real; is he human or something else? This is a well-crafted story with believable characters and a smoothly flowing plot. It reminds me of Kotuku by Deborah Savage, another YA story I greatly enjoyed. This would be an excellent addition to any library YA collection or as a gift for someone who likes light fantasy. The ending invites a continuance.
