From the Newbery Award–winning author of Sarah, Plain and Tall comes a story about one brave girl who saves her family from losing everything. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly calls this lyrical tale “melodic, poetic, and enchanting.”
Everyone in Lucy’s family sings. Opera. Rap. Lullabies. Everyone, except Lucy. Lucy can’t sing; her voice won’t come out.
Just like singing, helping Aunt Frankie prepare for flooding season is a family tradition—even if Frankie doesn’t want the help. And this year, when the flood arrives and danger finds its way into the heart of Lucy’s family, Lucy will need to find her voice to save her brother.
“Filled with little moments of quiet wisdom and gentle humor, Newbery winner MacLachlan's story about family love soars” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

From Booklist
Lucy and her family make their annual trip to visit Aunt Frankie in North Dakota just as floodwaters rise, threatening her home. Meanwhile, Lucy shares a secret with her little brother, Teddy: though the rest of the family thinks that he can’t talk yet, she knows that he can. He climbs into bed every evening and sings to her. While they’re at Aunt Frankie’s house, Teddy coaxes Lucy, the one person in their musical family who “can’t sing,” to sing to him. When Teddy goes missing near the swollen river, her voice is the only sound that might save him. Author of the Newbery Medal–winning Sarah Plain and Tall (1985), MacLachlan writes with simplicity and clarity, weaving adults and children into a close-knit circle of caring. While Lucy’s warm, supportive family will be comforting to some readers, others may find the idealized characters off-putting at times. The appealing jacket art, large type, and wide-spaced lines of text make this volume an inviting choice for readers who are beginning to read longer chapter books. Grades 2-4. --Carolyn Phelan

Speaks to the soul
By KidsReads
Secrets. Everybody has one. And talents. Everyone has one of those, too. Discovering your talents and learning about secrets (when/who to tell and what happens when you do/don’t tell) are both part of growing up.
Grandma Frankie lives in a house in North Dakota, and her daughter, Maggie is worried about her --- it’s been raining for days and Maggie remembers the dangers of floods from her own childhood. Therefore, Maggie and her daughter, Lucy, go to visit Grandma Frankie --- even though she says she doesn’t need or want their help.
Lucy has a secret about her brother, Teddy, but nobody knows it. She also has a talent, but she doesn’t know it --- yet. Her experiences at Grandma Frankie’s teach her about the importance of secrets and how to discover her talents. Lucy also learns about the importance of family: “Family means offering help when it’s not asked for, accepting help when you think you don’t need it, sharing joys, keeping secrets, and singing your song."
Patricia MacLachlan is the author of many novels and picture books. Her book, SARAH, PLAIN AND TALL was a Newbery Medal award-winner. I have read of couple of MacLachlan’s books. Her stories always speak to the soul. This one was no exception. Her writing is powerful. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, even though I was choking back tears near the end. I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did.

Everyone is unique with something to offer. Everyone has secret dreams and hopes and this book gets that.
By M. Fuller
Oh this book. This Gigantic-fonted 100 paged innocent looking thing. I read it in just an hour or so but it will stick with me for a long time. Patricia MacLachlan is talented. I haven't read her other works yet (but definitely will) but she writes complex ideas with minimal words. This is a book a young child could read easily, but it is not a simple boring story.
It's about family (I suspect most of this author's works are) and how one messy family came together when a flood was threatening their house. Frankie lives in the house her sister and she grew up in, but now, the river is coming and the family wants to help. "That river. She's a her in my book. She's been a friend most of these years, bringing boaters who deliver groceries. Bringing birds and beauty. We've lived through storms and sunrises and sunsets. Winter Squalls. I want to see how far she's going to crawl up my hill. I want to know if she'll come into my house. Sometimes I talk to her at night. She's great company."
So the river flood is happening, but as in real life so are a million other things too. Our main character, a child named Lucy secretly wants to be a poet, lives in a family of singers and cannot carry a tune. Her sister is an amazing artist but no one quite knows yet, and it turns out Lucy is the only one who knows her 2 year old brother Teddy can sing like an angel. He doesn't use words, but every night he sings just to his big sister. The adults have their problems too, but they are all through the lens of a child so it is felt, but not explained. The mother I related to more than I wanted to. Her youngest hasn't bonded with her as well, and she feels guilt over it. She also wants to be or do something more with her life but can't quite put her finger on it.
"No, it isn't you. Mama needs something all her own, that's all," he [Dad] says.
He goes out to where Mama is.
"Mama needs more than us," I say.
"Not really," says Frankie. "she just doesn't quite know what she has. She never did. She'll find that out one day. I promise."
If you are a mom, you know exactly how that feels, if you aren't there are other things in the story for you to relate to, and that's the brilliancy of it all. The whole book reads almost like a long poem, while still being accessible to anyone. More happens, secrets come out and the family comes together. I laugh because the little 2 year old is brilliant but quite. It reminded me so much of my little girl. We were so worried about her because she was a late talker, only to have her bust out counting to over ten shortly after she began saying "Mama."
Everyone is unique with something to offer. Everyone has secret dreams and hopes and this book gets that.

Great and memorable characters in the story
By Debnance at Readerbuzz
Lucy and her family are headed to help her aunt. It is flooding around her aunt's house and Lucy's family wants to help. Great and memorable characters in the story, all with a bit of a stubborn Midwestern quality that makes them endearing. Lucy's brother is two but doesn't talk yet...or so her parents think. Lucy's mother has aspirations that have not been met and is a little disappointed with how life has turned out. Lucy herself doesn't sing and that's another sadness for her mother. A complex story perfect for a young reader.
