Sand Angels in the Snow

About the Book

It’s the last day of school before spring break vacation, and Heather can barely contain her excitement. She’ll be traveling from cold and snowy Massachusetts to the warm, white sands of Florida to visit her Gram—and, most importantly, to go to the beach! As her mother says, by that night, they’ll be in an entirely different world. Heather has been ice-skating and romping in the snow at home, but in Florida she’ll be having picnics, hiking among gators, pruning old growth, and planting petunias—all with her beloved Gram and Grampa. But she has special, secret plans for the day at the beach, and she’ll need Gram’s help to make them come to life. With her snow clothes and sand clothes, Heather has everything she needs to make the perfect connection between Massachusetts and Florida. In this tale for middle readers, one girl goes on a spring break adventure with her family and creates a special link between the two places she loves the most.
