I've checked out a few middle grade books to read to my kiddo. One is a classic written in the sixties that I'd heard was timeless. I've never read it before. We've just started it and are already enjoying seeing how this adventure in New York City turns out. It's titled:  From the

I stumbled on this when I was at Lincoln City. It's a nice sentiment and won't easily be washed away by the changing tides.
