Nellis loves the ocean. Every year she travels with her family over the Black Mountains to their beach house. And every year her two brothers compete to see who will catch the first glimpse of the ocean through the mountain passes. Nellie never competes -- until this year. This year the mountains are blanketed in a heavy mist and no one can see the ocean -- no one except Nellie. Illustrated with incandescent oil paintings, this unforgettable book tells the story of a young girl who sees the beauty of nature with her mind and her heart.
