Plot Summary of The Girl From The Sea
"A young woman named Lelee has spent most of her life combing the depths of the ocean for treasure, just like her deceased father. Beau (the main character) and his sister Fanny are sent by their mother to stay with their Aunt Mimi. Beau and his father were left injured by an accident and Beau's mother thinks that he will be able to fully recover under the tough love care of his Aunt.

Beau, Fanny and Lelee meet and spend their holidays together. Lelee teaches them how to swim and dive, and in return they teach her to read and also teach her about the power of love and trust in others."

Louisa Eggleton, Resident Scholar
