Steven | 2 comments My History/English teacher in the 8th grade assigned a book to us for extra credit. I cant remember the name of the book or the author.

.Young Adult Fiction
.Historical Fiction
.This was around 1987-88 school year (I dont know if the book was "new" then but it was in paperback)

This is a coming of age story of a teenage girl during the great depression. It take place in the American NE (Maine or Cape cod area) She has a school girl crush and a local fisherman that is the town outcast. Her best friend is a pudgy neighbor boy that isn't very bright. The paperback books that we were assigned were green and a had a girl in a white dress walking along a beach. I know it isn't much to go on but there it is...
