But this year's different. Remy misses her dog, Danish, who recently passed away. The usual Seagate traditions don't feel the same--and neither does her relationship with her two best friends, Micayla and Bennett. Micayla's family is moving to Seagate year-round, and she's spending more time with the year-round kids. Bennett's doing "boy stuff" with new kid Calvin and his snobby sister Claire. Remy takes comfort in the company of Dog Beach--which is where she hatches her plan to bring her friends closer and recapture the Seagate magic. This start of a new series is filled with summer treats, activities, and the spirit of friendship and invention that are Greenwald's trademarks. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Welcome to Dog Beach</i></b> <br> "Remy's quiet tale of change and growth marks a promising start to a new series." <br> --<i>Kirkus Reviews <p/> "</i>Greenwald (<i>My Summer of Pink & Green</i>) gives Remy a candid and relatable voice in this first book in the Seagate Summers series." <br> --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "Dog devotees and aspiring entrepreneurs will find a friend and mentor in Remy, who adroitly combines her puppy love with a knack for business. She'll also make a good companion for those self-serious tween readers looking for a little sympathy on the perplexing and often unpleasant road to adolescence." <br> --<i>Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i> <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lisa Greenwald</b> is the author of <i>Reel Life Starring Us</i>, <i>Sweet Treats & Secret Crushes</i>, and the Pink & Green series.
