Eleven-year-old Remy loves Seagate, the island where her grandmother had a house and where her family spends every summer vacation. But this year s different. Remy misses her dog, Danish, who recently passed away. The usual Seagate traditions don t feel the same and neither does her relationship with her two best friends, Micayla and Bennett. Micayla s family is moving to Seagate year-round, and she s spending more time with the year-round kids. Bennett s doing boy stuff with new kid Calvin and his sbby sister Claire. Remy takes comfort in the company of Dog Beach which is where she hatches her plan to bring her friends closer and recapture the Seagate magic. This start of a new series is filled with summer treats, activities, and the spirit of friendship and invention that are Greenwald s trademarks. Praise for Welcome to Dog Beach Remy s quiet tale of change and growth marks a promising start to a new series.Kirkus Reviews
