![]() ![]() It reminded me of the friendship that I had with an elderly woman. I think this is what I loved best about this book. Opinions are my own.Ī well written novel with an unlikely friendship. ![]() Thanks to Net Galley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I highly recommend this book, but have tissues at the ready as you get to the end. ![]() William Loizeaux’s writing takes you right along with his relaxed and fun to read style. I loved learning about sailing terms (definitions included in the back), and the relationship between Rusty and Hazel is so delightful to watch as it develops all the way to the end. Not one to pass on watermelon, Rusty accepts the invitation and soon finds a friend who understands his love of sailing, encourages him in his studies, and helps him rise to the challenge in many areas of his life. Rusty brushes her off, but a few days later Hazel sees him in town and she asks him if he’d like to come to her house for lunch with watermelon for dessert. When he’s bailing out his little catboat, an old lady in a wheelchair asks if he will take her sailing. It tells the story of Rusty, an almost 6th grader who has to go to summer school to catch up on math, and his mother has gone some place that will help her not be so sad anymore. Into the Wind, by William Loizeaux is a book you will not want to miss. ![]()
