About the Book Olive's Ocean
Olive’s Ocean by Kevin Henkes is a touching coming-of-age novel that follows the story of 12-year-old Martha Boyle. The narrative begins when Martha receives a journal entry from the mother of Olive Barstow, a classmate who recently died in a hit-and-run accident. Although Martha and Olive were not close, Olive admired Martha and had dreams of becoming a writer and seeing the ocean.
As Martha spends her summer at her grandmother Godbee’s house by the ocean, she reflects on Olive’s life and her own aspirations. The story explores themes of friendship, loss, and self-discovery. Martha’s journey is marked by her growing understanding of Olive and her own desire to become a writer.
The novel is praised for its realistic characters and emotional depth, making it a profound read for middle-grade audiences.
