MG DESTINATION FICTION
The great and horrible thing about living in a wonderful vacation destination like Martha’s Vineyard is that everyone comes…and everyone goes. Or at least that’s how things are turning out for Cove Bernstein. It’s no plot-buster to tell you that Cove’s best friend Nina leaves right at the beginning of OUT OF PLACE, a debut MG novel by the talented Jen Blecher. Cove and Nina have been besties forever and things will never be the same for Cove with out Nina. Yet Cove is resilient—despite her eccentric and borderline agoraphobic mother—and she sets out on her own to make new friends of all ages, take on new hobbies, and stand up to the local bullies. But her new allies (spoiler alert) also leave the island one by one (or announce their plans to leave) and there’s only one thing for Cove to do, which is figure out a way to leave, too. OUT OF PLACE is a love letter to Martha’s Vineyard, and a wholesome and sweet, emotion-driven first novel with a gentle tone and indelible depictions of what it’s like to live in a place no one ever wants to leave…but must. I highly recommend this satisfying and enjoyable book. #mglit #middlegrade #booksofplace #destinationfiction #jenblecher #outofplace #MGdebut #bookstagram #marthasvineyard
