Me too and my beach was on a lake nowhere near the ocean..

Just brilliant, written from the perspective of Scomber the mackerel, Antiguilla the eel and Sanderling the gull, by a scientist with the voice of a poet.
Island of the Blue Dolphins, by Scott O' Dell
It's a classic, immersive story that really draws you in. I love the way it's simple and easy to understand but gets more complicated as you go.
