Darthela's Ashes

by Lyn Clark

This sequel to The Bolt Hole is both a coming-of-age and a coming-to-grips-with-age story in which Sam is bullied, Darthela's Ashes go missing, and Dutch suffers adolescent angst. Throw in graying hair, wild dogs, and rustic Maineiacs against a backdrop of springtime on the McKenna Farm, and you have a tale that seesaws between heartbreak and hilarity in the continuing saga of Summer Village.
