Clara is reading "The Boxcar Children" series. In it, the four kids' grandfather repeatedly offers them adventures on a plate. In Clara's most recent book, "Surprise Island," he introduces them to his own family island and leaves them there for the summer.
I thought of him as I introduced my four to... a gap between our fence and the neighbor's. Not exactly an island, but it did provide some adventure for the day. It even has promise for occasional returns in the summer.
