Poor Kaitie Prescott! She had a caring family and enjoyed a grand life in Sweedalpine, Pennsylvania. And August had always been the best time of the year for her. She and her family spent the month on their beloved island in Canadafishing for sunnies, boating about the lake, and discovering island-bound adventures galore! But then in autumn of 1946, Kaities mother took ill and passed away a few months later. Alas, the saddened Prescott family did not travel to Canada during the summer that followed. Yes, poor Kaitie Prescott! Her grumpy, persnickety Aunt Lillian left her Philadelphia home and came to care for Kaitie, her brother Ned, and little sister Jessie. And with that, Kaities world changed. As the Prescotts prepare for their return to Poconut Island, twelve-year-old Kaitie wonders how her vacation will bethis time, without her loving mother, and with demanding Aunt Lillian, Miss Pickle Puss. Written by a Registered Nurse with a Child Psychiatrist, both with expertise in child development, family systems, special education, and developmental disabilities, The Sweedalpine Novelettes: Book One: Return to Poconut Island is the first book in a series of family adventure stories by Kaithryn M. Prescott. Struggling to recover from the death of her mother, Kaitie grapples with a conflicted relationship with her aunt. True to its genre of adventure and told in first person from an historical perspective, the series includes discoveries, mishaps, and triumphs spanning Kaities world from quaint Sweedalpine, Pennsylvania to an island on Moon Mirror Lake in Ontario, Canada. The story highlights elementary school-aged childrens issues of self-esteem, family relationships, and bereavement, while developing a strong sense of self in the face of loss, change, and conflict.
