Rating: 5 star rating

I really enjoyed Whispers of Sea Glass by Wendy Lynn Decker. Ivy Jean Munroe is a smart, curious teenager growing up in the 1950s with dreams of becoming a detective. After being transferred to a new Catholic school, she struggles to fit in and adjust to the strict rules and new surroundings. I felt for her as she tried to find her place while dealing with all the changes in her life.

One of my favorite parts of the story was Ivy's relationship with her grandfather. He is one of the few people who truly understands and encourages her curiosity. Their bond adds warmth to the story, and his support helps give Ivy the confidence to keep asking questions and searching for the truth. But her father deals with health issues, and mysteries of his own.

I also enjoyed Ivy's friendship with Stella. Stella may have a reputation as a troublemaker, but she is loyal and brave. Together, the girls investigate a secret connected to their school, and their friendship grows stronger along the way.

The mystery kept me interested, but what I loved most was watching Ivy grow. She learns that people are not always what they seem and that sometimes the truth is more complicated than expected. The 1950s setting, family connections, friendship, and mystery all came together beautifully.

This was a heartwarming story with characters I genuinely cared about. If you enjoy historical fiction with strong family bonds, memorable friendships, and a good mystery, I highly recommend this book. It stayed with me long after I finished reading it.

Thanks to NetGalley, Virtual Serenity, and Wendy Lynn Decker, author, for providing this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
