Blue Balliett creates a wonderful story set in the small Michigan town of Three Oaks. The main character, Zoomy, is young boy who is legally blind and has some obsessive compulsive habits. He meets a girl with a firecracker personality and a palindrome name, Lorrol. They become good friends and help to solve the mystery of an old notebook with journal entries from a naturalist who sailed in the 1830's on a ship called the Beagle. Characters are endearing, the setting is quaint, and you want to know more about what happens to Zoomy and Lorrol.
