Has your dog ever ran away or have you ever felt that a grown up doesn’t understand you? Well, teenage Addie feels your pain!

“Addie’s Sketchbook: Summer in Wellfleet” by Ruut DeMeo is recommended for tweens and above, but people could bend the rules and read at a younger age. It has some inappropriate language, but it’s not nearly as bad as language some grown ups use.

The book is written from the perspective of 13-year-old Addie, who is obsessed with books, reading and drawing. It’s silly, realistic, mysterious and adventurous; a general crowd pleaser.

Join Addie and her sketchbook on a wild quest to find her lost pooch and solve the mystery of what happened to her beloved family member. Just dealing with that is hard enough for Addie, but one of her biggest problems is her home life. Her mother is always working and a neighbor is acting suspicious. Can Addie get to the bottom of all these mysteries?

All in all, it’s a standard worth-reading book. On a scale of 1–10, I would rate this book an 8, because it is easy to understand, it exaggerates things in funny ways and made me want to read it all over again.
