![]() The author does leave many little clues throughout the narrative that show/depict Nellie as being potentially visually challenged (she does not want to join in her brothers' games about who can first see the ocean, she does not fight for a window seat in the car, she is more attuned to the sound of the ocean, the texture of the sand, the caress of a salty sea breeze), but I wonder if a young child would catch all of these clues (I think this is definitely a book that might need to be read more than once). I have to admit that I am a bit taken aback by the fact that one does not get to actually know about Nellie's blindness until the very end of the book. ![]()
