Summary: love the sea?
Review: Ben O'Neal finds a girl who has survived a shipwreck off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. In the wreck she bumped her head and has forgotten her identity. She is also unable to speak. Ben's mother takes her in and plans to nurse the girl back to health. They nickname her Teetoncey, in reference to her petite size. Everything about her remains a mystery. Everyone wonders if she comes from a rich family. They also wonder if there were treasures on the boat when it sank. At first Ben likes the idea of trying to help the girl. After awhile he gets tired of her in his room and he wonders if she will ever get well and be able to return to her own home.

The book introduced a lot of culture and vocabulary from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The book also moved at a quick pace. Teetoncey would make a good choice for a middle school student who had to give a book report. It's a quick and easy read. The book also included the first chapter from the next book in the series. Readers will read the first chapter and want to know more leading them back to the library to find Book 2 in the series!


I would recommed this book to boys and girls ages 10-12. If the reader enjoys books about adventure, sea life, and boating they will enjoy this book.

Summary: This is the book I was searching for!!!
Review: I read this book (a trilogy actually) when I was in junior high school, sixth grade I believe. I loved it then, but forgot the title of it amidst the rediculous quantities of books I read. Yet as I got older, I found myself occasionally thinking of the wonderful story and characters. Unfortunately, I could never remember the name of the book or the characters. But finally, I have managed to find it after much frustrated searching. If you have any question as to rather you would like to read this book, just remember that I spent fourteen years or so looking for it because I enjoyed it so much in my childhood...and that's a pretty good recommendation!

Summary: A mysterious shipwrecked girl
Review: Young Ben O'Neal finds a girl who has survived a shipwreck off the coast of Cape Hatteras and his family takes her in. She is shrouded in mystery, having forgotten her identity in the trauma of the shipwreck. They nickname her Teetoncey, in reference to her petite size. But her spirit is huge! One day, when Ben's friends are trying to impress her with their knowledge of swear words, she floors them with a string of curses that would make a sailor blush! There is speculation as to whether she is from a rich family or not, and is there treasure that went down with the ship she was on? Will they find it? Ben evolves from a boy who feels stuck in the Outer Banks culture to a young man who begins to appreciate the world at large, as he gains respect for the young girl they call Teetoncey. Engrossing; excellent for 9 to 12 year olds.
