The Summer of Permanent Wants

By Jamieson Findlay (Doubleday Canada, $15)
Ages 13-16

But a summer of self-discovery awaits when she visits her bohemian grandmother one summer and starts a floating bookshop aboard Permanent Wants, sailing from port to port and travelling to places real and imaginary.
