Teetoncey (1-Simul) (Cape Hatteras Trilogy #01)

Description

In 1898, twelve-year-old Ben rescues a near-drowned girl from a shipwreck off the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Although the girl, named Teetoncey, becomes part of his family, she will not utter a single word. His mother Rachel nurses the child with warm broth in their cottage, refusing to send her off to a Norfolk charity home. While Doc Meekins warns that the sea has damaged her mind forever, Ben tries to stir her memory. He drives her across the dunes in his two-wheeled cart behind the pony Fid, showing her the great Hatteras light and the snow geese on Pea Island. Yet Teetoncey only sits beside the stove, staring into the red embers and petting the retriever Boo Dog. As winter nor'easters pound the barrier sand, Ben wonders if the silent girl will ever find her voice. Outer Banks History: Vivid historical details immerse young readers in the late 19th-century barrier islands, from Keeper Filene Midgett's brave surfmen at the Heron Head Lifesaving Station to the treacherous shoals known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Middle Grade Adventure: Perfect for readers ages 8 to 12 who love maritime tales, featuring twelve-year-old Ben navigating coastal squalls in his homemade shad boat while trying to live up to his father's heroic legacy.
