Carole Jane from Starfish Lane by Diane Twomley

What do you do at the beach when it’s not summertime? Carole Jane lives on Mac Island, and even though summer is fun, Carole Jane thinks she might love the other seasons even more. She can peek into tide pools in the spring, talk to gulls in the fall, and play in the sand all year round, building all sorts of things. Home on Mac Island is Carole Jane’s favorite place to be.

The pale-yellow house at the end of Starfish Lane is where Carole Jane lives. She can see the ocean every day, all year long, and there is always something interesting to see and do on the island. Spend the year with Carole Jane, discovering everything from parades celebrating Mac Island’s townspeople, to a bonfire on the beach, to peaceful days reading on the pier.
