Book Summary |
 |
Horseshoes Aren't Just for Good Luck is a realistic fictional book, written in the first person. A child is visiting Gram (Great-grandmother) at the seashore over summer vacation. Living in a Victorian beach town is quite a contrast to the child's usual life in the busy city. The child learns about life at the beach and becomes especially interested in horseshoe crabs. Illustrations support the text.
