Seacrow Island by Astrid Lindgren**

What  delightful, satisfying book!
The Melkerson family spends its summer on Seacrow Island in the Carpenter's Cottage.  The father (a widow) and his four children immediately fall in love with the tumble down cottage and the eccentric people who inhabit the island.
From becoming lost in the fog at sea to chasing away Malin's  (19 year old sister) boyfriends to having a baby seal for a pet, adventures and laughter await this family.  A lot of spunky, resilient characters to adore too!
I loved how the children spent most of their time outside, exploring and being creative.
Several times I laughed out loud at the characters' antics.
**Highly, highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
