After her mother dies suddenly, twelve-and-a-half year old


Penelope Grace Sinclair (Piper) must go live aboard a


steamboat captained by her father. Before she saw her


father only twice a month when he was off-duty. Now, she


must see him every day.




As Piper learns how to adjust to her father and grieve for her mother,


she also learns about life and work on a steamboat just before the


Great Depression.




To keep her company, Piper keeps a diary which she names


Dorie. Magically, Dorie comes alive and tells her side of the


story too. Until a mysterious accident happens that separates


Dorie and Piper, and all seems lost!




Then, in 2015, a boy named Garrett, who is struggling to


cope with his father's traumatic injury, finds Dorie. Garrett


reads Piper's story, bringing the past to life again. Because


of words and music, families discover that the power of


friendship can carry them through hard times.




For fans of Lauren Wolk (Beyond the Bright Sea) and


Natalie Babbit (Tuck Everlasting), That Smudge of Smoke


weaves together fantasy and history to create a


heartwarming read for middle-school audiences.
