Hurlyburlybuss: The Way to Sattin Shore by Philippa Pearce
http://hurlyburlybuss.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-way-to-sattin-shore-by-philippa.html
Children's books from 1800 to the present: a personal view. Wednesday, 24 October 2012. The Way to Sattin Shore by Philippa Pearce. Kate Tranter is the youngest member of her family. Her two brothers are rather older, and Kate is a lonely child, a little isolated within the family and reserved at school. She's curious about her dead father - he must be. I can't recommend The Way to Sattin Shore. 24 October 2012 at 18:02. 25 October 2012 at 11:01. Definitely worth looking for. 25 October 2012 at 00:11.
