Red Sails to Capri

Ann Weil's Newbery Honor book, "Red Sails to Capri," transports young readers to the picturesque island of Capri in 1826. The story follows a young character who becomes involved in the real-life rediscovery of the stunning Blue Grotto, a sea cave known for its brilliant blue light. It's a gentle historical adventure that introduces children to a specific moment in time, fostering curiosity about history, exploration, and the natural world. Ideal for ages 4-11, it works well as a read-aloud for younger children and an engaging independent read for elementary students.
