The Problem with Paradise di Lesley Dahl
A coming of age story set on a tropical island. 15 year old Casey leaves her boyfriend back home to to spend the summer with her father and his new wife in Tartuga. The father is working with endangered sea turtles. She meets up with a handsome boy and keeps her brothers in line all while sending letters back home (remember when we used snail mail back in the day when we went off to summer camp or spent a week with our grandparents?). There's budding romance, envy of the new woman in her father's life, and some island intrigue. Not to mention the threat of an oncoming tropical storm.

A good middle grade fiction novel, and a page-turner!… (altro)

The Problem with Paradise di Lesley Dahl
The middle sections were the most enjoyable, with their detailed descriptions of the flora and fauna of a Caribbean island called Ginger. The chapters where Sheryl teaches her stepdaughter Casey how to sail had me running to the dictionary to look up all those nautical terms.

I'd love to read more of Lesley Dahl's writing (as far as I can tell, this is her only book). She has a beautiful style and a great way with a setting.
