Eleven-year-old twins, Josh and Lizzie Parker, and their travel-blogging parents are off on a new adventure, this time to Nantucket Island off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Aboard a ferry to the island, the twins meet Sara Coleman Clarke, or Grams, as her friends call her.

Later, as a fifth-grade teacher, her students became editors and created a monthly school newspaper. Part of a US Public Health Service family, Barbara has lived in many areas of the United States, including New England, the Mid-Atlantic region, the Midwest, the West Coast, and Alaska.
