 Eleven-year-old Poppy Ray longs to be a veterinarian, but she's never had a pet. This summer, she's going to spend a month with her uncle Sanjay, veterinarian and owner of the Furry Friends Animal Clinic on an island off the Washington coast. Poppy is in for big surprises. She loves tending to the dogs, cats, and even a bird, and she discovers the fun of newborn puppies and the satisfaction of doing a good job. But she learns that there's more to caring for animals than the stethoscope and cotton swabs in her Deluxe Veterinarian First-Aid Kit. She's not prepared for quirky pet owners, gross stuff, or scary emergencies. With help from a boy named Hawk, a chunk of seaglass, and a touch of intuition, Poppy gains a deeper understanding of the pain and joy of working with animals. With warmth and humor, Anjali Banerjee tells the story of a resourceful, determined girl who can't wait to grow up, but begins to realize just how much she has left to discover.

Seaglass Summer is a delightful story of a young eleven year old girl named Poppy, who was determined to be a veterinarian. Her parents had bought young Poppy a veterinarian kit, so Poppy assumed she was already to start practicing medicine on her furry friends.

Through a series of misadventures, including having Poppy's veterinarian kit and suitcase fly out of her uncle's truck, accidentally mishandling the pets Poppy wanted to help, and having to put down a friend's beloved pet. Poppy learns life and being a veterinarian aren't as easy as she had thought.

The story is heartwarming, funny, and shows the bumps in growing up. I truly loved the lessons to be learned and the story. I highly recommend this story for one and all.

This is a delightful summer read. A young girl goes to visit her veterinarian uncle while her parents go visiting family out of the country. Nothing seems to go right to start. But all her worries seem to fade and smooth over just like the seaglass she holds dear. Really an excellent story; one I am certain I will reread before summer comes to an end.

I love the way this author writes and bought the book to give to a friend for her daughter. I did read the book before giving it to my friend, it has the same quality as Ms Banerjee's adult novels; you never want to put them down until it's done. This story is filled with life. It is about disappointment, family, relationships and goals in a down to earth way for the young reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect read for animal lovers
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2010
When eleven-year-old Poppy Bhatta's parents travel to India for a month of business and family visits, she's excited to stay behind and spend her summer vacation with Uncle Ravi. But when she arrives, his home on a remote island off the coast of Washington is so different from Los Angeles and everything else she knows. But Poppy has always dreamed of being a vet and Uncle Ravi runs his own animal clinic, so this is the perfect chance to get professional training.

Poppy quickly learns there's a lot she doesn't know about animals. Scary stuff-- like pain, suffering, abandonment and even death. It's not a part of what she'd envisioned. Through it the summer, Poppy never gives up on her dream. With the gentle guidance of Uncle Ravi and her new friend Hawk, the son of the receptionist at the clinic, she discovers the joys that can come from the comfort and care of animals.

Author Anjali Banerjee has crafted a tender, heartwarming novel for anyone who loves stories about animals, friendship, family or characters who pursue their dreams.

I bought this book for an 11 yr old granddau.
Wanted to pre-read it first. I liked the story line and found the book very interesting, as well as entertaining.
I am a fan of animals, and the story setting is the Pacific NW, my neck of the woods.
