Then he befriends smart and lively Lizzie Bright Griffin, a girl from Malaga Island, a poor community founded by former slaves. Lizzie shows Turner a new world along the Maine coast from digging clams to rowing a boat next to a whale. When the powerful town elders, including Turner's father, decide to drive the people off the island to set up a tourist business, Turner stands alone against them. He and Lizzie try to save her community, but there's a terrible price to pay for going against the tide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509013995793,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780618439294.jpg?v=1778156237","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-lizzie-bright-and-the-buckminster-boy-by-gary-d-schmidt","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
