This is a truly heartwarming story about a little boy who sets out on a mission to find the father that abandoned him. The characters are all charming (even in their imperfections), and the setting in an English fishing town is perfect. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I felt like there was a twist promised that didn’t really pan out. No big surprises with the plot, but sometimes it’s nice to read something that’s a little predictable.

4 stars
