About this audiobook
Eleven-year-old Remy loves Seagate, the island where her grandmother had a house and where her family spends every summer vacation. But this year’s different. Remy misses her dog, Danish, who recently passed away. The usual Seagate traditions don’t feel the same—and neither does her relationship with her two best friends, Micayla and Bennett. Micayla’s family is moving to Seagate year-round, and she’s spending more time with the year-round kids. Bennett’s doing “boy stuff” with new kid Calvin and his snobby sister Claire. Remy takes comfort in the company of Dog Beach—which is where she hatches her plan to bring her friends closer and recapture the Seagate magic. This start of a new series is filled with summer treats, activities, and the spirit of friendship and invention that are Greenwald’s trademarks.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Welcome to Dog Beach deftly weaves fun and sadness, dogs, friends, and dreams into a summer filled with surprise plot turns.The friendship lines could use more depth from other perspectives.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this story, Remy and her 3 best friends return to Seagate, a beach community where everyone knows everyone for the summer. They have been doing this for years and they love the routines they have there- but this summer things are going to change.To start with, Remy’s dog that she loved died and she is super sad about it. He use to play with her on the beach all the time. So it’s hard to go to their old hang out place, Dog beach at first. But then she starts getting to know other dogs, meets some new people and it gets easier. She begins to see that her lots of her life is changing and will need to figure out a way to deal with that, tooThis is a sweet story about friendships that are easy and comfortable but need to change even when we don’t want them to. It doesn’t mean they have to get left behind, not if you can find away to work it out. The friendship between the 3 main characters was great and I liked how the end leaves you wanting to read more about them, but not hanging on a cliffs edge about it. I would give this almost 5 stars.
