Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.
Lizzie looked at him for a long time, tilting her head to one side as if trying to figure him out—which was what she was doing. "You're a strange person, you know that, Turner Buckminster? I wonder if you can see anything straight. What do you think your daddy would say if he saw us two standing out here right now? Or knew that I would be coming up to Mrs. Cobb's house just to hear you play?" "He'd say he** and da**ation. So you going to come?" "I'll come. At high tide, when I can't be claiming anyway." "Then I'll see you tomorrow at high tide, Lizzie Bright." "Yes, you will," she said, and whistling softly, she turned toward the back of the yard. The sea breeze came down from the leaves and followed at her heels, jumping up now and again and frisking all around. Turner snuck back inside, as quiet as could be, thinking of high tide.
