Her adoptive father and unsympathetic new baby-sitter had decided not to go to the beach-her favorite place-for the summer. The twins were always teasing her about her weight. Only her younger borther Morgan seened to love her, but he has never spoken-and her father was threatening to send him off to a hospital. But then Bridget disocvered the house and learned some suprising facts about her adoption, about her natural parents and about her silent younger brother....This novel is crammed with action.
