"Sometimes there's too much to leave behind. Hope's world is shaken when her parents announce that they're leaving their small New Brunswick town and moving to Toronto for her father's job. Hope's anxiety, manageable before that point, skyrockets as she fears making new friends and leaving her beloved ocean, and the sea glass that she has been carefully nurturing for years. At least there's a tremendous diversion for her final summer -- her village of St. David's is one of five entrants in a nationwide TV contest that celebrates "Canada's Tiniest Treasures." As the days before summer's end -- and the move date -- count down, Hope and her best friend, Willa, dedicate themselves to the St. David's campaign, celebrating what is unique about small town life, and their friendship" --From publisher.
