(  ) emma_mc | Jul 11, 2009 |  Margaret goes to the beach everyday with her notebook and writes herself into the life of what she sees as a perfect family. At the same time, the children in that “perfect” family are worried that their parents are going to divorce. The lifeguard, who Margaret sees as an angel who might be her salvation is very concerned about how his family is coping with the death of his brother. In the mean time, Margaret goes home each day to a father who physically abuses her. In the end, Chris and Evan are her salvation. This book is appropriate for middle school readers and above. (  ) iecj | Jul 9, 2009 | The stories of three troubled teens at a vacation spot weave together. Chris, a lifeguard, tries to shake the feeling that he'll always be second best in his father's eyes. Evan struggles to support his young sister while his parents seem to drift apart. Margaret, "The Watcher" studies these people while writing in her notebook. Their stories come together in the end. I've read this story a number of times, and always enjoyed it. It's a short, easy read (maybe 2 hours?) which makes it a go- to when I need a quick break. lemonsbetter | Jun 28, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
