Thunder from the Sea, by Joan Hiatt Harlow
4.0
Book 11 of 2020. Tom is a young teenage orphan going to live with a new family. The Murrays try to make him feel welcome, but he’s struggling to fit in. Then, one day they find a dog struggling out in the sea and the dog and the boy become constant companions. This is not without turmoil though and trouble both man made and natural. Will Tom’s new home situation work out? Will he get to keep Thunder?
I read this one with my children. It’s a book I’ve never heard of before, but we found it at a library book sale and decided to give it a try. It’s surprisingly heart-warming, but at times veers into sentimentality and rigid moralism. Still, it’s an enjoyable book about about a dog and a boy both looking for a permanent home.
