Copyright © Meena Mason   Excerpt: After spending the afternoon at the beach, Kessa ambled up the dock toward The Salty Inn. The day had flown by. She couldn’t believe it was dinnertime. Peeking into the dining room, she saw her family was already seated and engrossed in conversation. Waving diffidently to them, Kessa sat down. After dinner, Malieous commented on how unusually quiet Kessa was that evening. Aquestria laughed. “Kessa’s always quiet at dinner time, Malieous. She’s got too much food in her mouth to do much talking.” Everyone joined in the laughter, except Malieous, who only smiled, and Kessa, who stuffed a huge piece of buttered bread into her mouth to hilariously illustrate her sister’s point.
