Book

When sea becomes sky / by Gillian McDunn.

Summary:

Every summer, Bex and Davey spend their days exploring their beloved salt marsh. But this year a record-breaking drought leads to a surprising discovery in their favorite corner of the marsh: a mysterious underwater statue. Where did it come from? Who could have put it there? Could this be the summer adventure they've been waiting for? But the answers don't come easy -- and when Bex and Davey learn of a development plan that will destroy their special spot, they'll need to act quickly. Unfortunately, sometimes progress happens whether you're ready or not. What will it mean if they can no longer spend their summers where otters frolic and dragonflies buzz, in their place to be siblings together? As Bex and Davey attempt to save the statue and their beloved marsh, they come to see that the truth is not as simple as it seems... and ultimately discovering so much more about life, permanence, love, and loss than they ever expected. -- Provided by publisher.
