Tide Against the Current

You are Tidey Ellery, pressed to the edge of summer, where sunlight stains your hair gold and the salt on your skin is as familiar as the hum of festival drums. Boats glide under your steady hand, but the water beneath carries stories you aren’t sure you’re ready to chase—family hopes, whispered regrets, and the hush of starting over. Racing has always meant possibility: glimpses of who you might become, if only you dare to steer ahead and trust the ones racing beside you.

Neutral with a gentle, inviting coastal cadence, the narrator’s voice blends a soft American accent touched with just enough maritime inflection to evoke the story’s setting. The tone is warm and reflective, weaving subtle emotion and nostalgia into descriptive passages without overpowering the characters’ journeys. Pacing is graceful and steady, with careful modulation to echo the rhythm of tides and the festival’s rising energy. Pronunciation is clear and evocative, often painting images with words and occasionally lingering over meaningful phrases. The narrator’s approach feels personal, approachable, and immersive—keyed to the emotional depth and character-driven storytelling inspired by Sarah Dessen.

Gabi Solis arrives like summer thunder—laughing, loud, unstoppable, her confidence often outpacing her caution. She lives for the Festival’s chaos, taking risks with every turn of the tiller, her joy contagious, lingering in the air long after she’s vanished down the next sunlit stretch. With Gabi, everything is possibility: friendship spun from shared secrets, encouragement when you falter, and a touch of mischief that means the world won’t stay predictable for long.

Milo Waters moves with the kind of quiet intensity you only notice when the noise fades—steady, reflective, the kind of friend who keeps secrets tucked away but offers advice when you least expect it. His connection to Mariner’s View runs deep; he knows the histories lapping the wharf and the stories in every tide. With him at your side, patience and understanding shape the arc of the race, showing you how to listen when the currents shift.

Del Maris remains the town’s unofficial historian, her laughter ringing across the docks, her counsel as familiar as the creak of the old pier. She remembers every Regatta, every hopeful arrival, every heartbroken goodbye. When you meet her, you find guidance hidden behind clever riddles or stories spun while she paints festival ribbons. Del is the heartbeat that reminds you: the past is never as distant as you think.

Micah Reed is the newcomer this summer, a little unsure, a little out of place, but watching everything with hopeful hunger. He sketches in a tattered notebook, capturing the town’s commotion in lines and color, quietly searching for that sense of belonging. You notice him often on the sidelines—ready to help, needing only an invitation to step close and find his own current in the festival story.

Sun-Kissed Regatta Gear

Festival Spark Racer

Harbor Lore Casual

Heritage Festival Attire

Patchwork Sketcher Ensemble

Tidey wears a lightweight racerback tank top in faded maritime blue, the fabric loose and breezy to handle the festival sun, with subtle white piping along the seams and a discreet, hand-stitched sea ribbon patch above her heart. Her shorts are sporty and mid-thigh, crafted from quick-dry sand-beige fabric with practical zippered pockets for stowing boat hardware or trinkets. She layers an unbuttoned, sun-bleached cotton overshirt around her waist for warmth after late sails, its cuffs inked with symbols and tiny marks from each regatta. Tidey’s feet are in well-broken-in canvas slip-on sneakers, outsoles stained by saltwater, and she wears a braided hemp anklet decorated with a single blue bead, a gift from her younger brother. Her hands sport fingerless gloves—navy with reinforced palms—for handling rough ropes and oar locks. Around her neck hangs a simple silver pendant shaped like a wave crest, glinting in the bright light. She often tucks an old blue bandana beneath her hair as a makeshift sunshield, letting it flutter behind her in the wind. Her look is completed by a watersport watch, scuffed but reliable, and a faded woven festival wristband that she refuses to remove.

Gabi bursts with energy in a sleeveless cropped top patterned in wild, swirling sunset oranges and hot pinks—its airy mesh fabric perfect for sweaty afternoons and festival excitement. Her high-waisted board shorts are a deep magenta with gold drawstrings and bold side stripes, cut for movement and splashed with tiny scattered star motifs. Around her waist is a neon-yellow sash tied casually at one hip, the loose ends trailing behind her as she runs or jumps, embroidered with little festival fish and shell icons. She wears mismatched festival friendship bracelets in rainbow colors on both wrists—some beaded, others simple embroidery floss, a testament to all the bonds she’s forged. Gabi’s earrings are tiny gold hoops, which catch the sun when she laughs or tosses her head. Her footwear is a pair of bright red slip-on watershoes with flexible white soles, designed for both running on the dock and gripping the deck. Over her shoulder, she’s always got a small crossbody bag printed with cartoon crabs and festival tickets poking out the top. To finish the look, she has a bold teal bandana tied around her curly hair as a headwrap, letting her curls billow out while keeping stray strands away from her eyes during a chaotic race.

Milo favors a cool slate-gray, slightly oversized cotton shirt with rolled-up sleeves, the collar lined with faded navy piping that echoes the lines of an old sea chart, and the hem left untucked for comfort. Underneath, he layers a pale sandstone-colored tank for easy movement and to stay cool under the summer sun. His pants are relaxed-fit, cropped cargo trousers in mossy green, the knees patched from years of scrambling around boatyards, and every pocket filled with small scraps of rope and paper—evidence of his constant note-taking. Around his neck is a leather thong holding a weathered bronze coin, said to be an old marina token. On his left wrist, he wears a woven bracelet of sea grass fibers, a family hand-me-down, and a waterproof, retro-styled watch with a faded face. Milo’s shoes are canvas deck sneakers in charcoal, faded and streaked with salt stains, matched with low-cut gray socks peeking out. His hair blows freely in the wind, half-shielded by a deep-blue, wide-brimmed sailor’s cap featuring three faded enamel pins (a compass, a wave, and a small book). For sun protection, he keeps a soft olive windbreaker tied at his waist, its inside lining marked with hand-drawn doodles of sea creatures and maps.

Del Maris dresses in a flowing, ankle-length linen skirt dyed a rich indigo blue, with hand-embroidered motifs of swirling waves and sea ribbons tracing the hem in silver and turquoise thread. She pairs this with a sleeveless, soft white blouse, its neckline gently gathered and clasped by a vintage mother-of-pearl brooch in the shape of a shell. Over her blouse drapes a colorful woven festival shawl, striped in a riot of coral, seafoam, and gold, with festival badges and enamel pins collected from years past clustered on one corner. Her feet are clad in sturdy leather sandals with woven blue straps, beautiful but meant for all-day wear around the bustling docks. Del adorns her expressive hands with several silver and copper rings, each engraved with festival dates or local symbols, and wears chunky wooden bead bracelets stacked along her right wrist. Her cropped, silver-streaked hair is held back by a silk festival scarf, printed with ribbons and gulls in flight, knotted just behind her ear. A small, worn satchel hangs at her side, patches from past regattas sewn lovingly into its seams, always holding story notes and painted ribbons. Completing her look are a pair of practical sunglasses tucked atop her head and just a hint of cheerful festival face paint along one cheekbone—tradition and joy in every detail.

Micah wears a soft, slightly oversized sage-green tee, the fabric faded from sun exposure with the sleeves messily cuffed, and three hand-drawn boat sketches peeking out from the tiny chest pocket—a detail only those who look closely notice. His favorite lightweight charcoal denim overalls are splattered here and there with paint and marker, one knee patched in canary yellow and the other with a sky-blue patch, and the shoulder fastenings uneven to accommodate a well-used leather sketchbook case. Around his neck, a cotton lanyard holds a collection of mismatched house keys and tiny found objects (sea glass, a chipped festival medal) clattering quietly. Micah’s shoes are worn gray high-top sneakers scribbled all over with festival graffiti and sketches, one lace always trailing. He sports a bright festival ribbon tied around his left forearm as a charm—inked with signatures from friends and a doodle of the festival mascot. On his right wrist, he wears a slap-bracelet with a mermaid scale pattern, a prize from the festival’s midway game. To protect himself from the midday sun, Micah tucks a faded coral-pink baseball cap over his unruly sandy-brown hair, the brim bent to one side. His look is finished with a makeshift utility belt slung crosswise (crafted from a fabric tape measure), holding stubby pencils, two paint markers, and a mini roll of boat-repair tape.

The poster should include no text. The art style of the poster should be Bright cartoon, cel-shaded. The poster is in widescreen, landscape orientation with a well-defined border that resembles a ribbon motif, twisting along its edges in cheerful summer colors. The setting is the sunlit coastal town of Mariner’s View during its bustling summer festival: vibrant bunting and lanterns flutter from the wharf and pastel-hued cottages, with a sparkling, playful blue sea stretching into the distance. In the foreground, three lightweight, uniquely designed racing boats dash through ribbons of water, each boat distinctively styled—one painted with bold stripes, another adorned with whimsical sea-creature patterns, and a third shimmering with festival confetti. Tidey Ellery, at the center boat, squints in determination as sunlight glints off her wind-tossed hair and her boat’s polished hull; to her left, Gabi leans into the wind, expression exuberant and animated, her energy palpable with trailing festival streamers. On Tidey’s right, Milo guides his craft with quiet focus, his gaze steady and thoughtful, hinting at deeper stories. On the pier behind them, townsfolk—fishermen, artists, families—cheer alongside music-playing festival bands, their silhouettes lively against the backdrop of carnival booths and fluttering pennants. In the midground, a weatherworn journal sits open on the edge of the old wharf near a cluster of tangled ropes, hinting at the town’s mysterious lore and lost promises. Above, the summer sky is painted in bold cel-shaded gradients, sunbeams splashing warmth across the scene, with a few clouds swirling cartoonishly. In the distant background, the race’s finish line arches in bright festival flags, with a storm cloud low on the horizon suggesting the tension and adventure ahead. The overall atmosphere radiates youthful energy, friendship, and possibility, blending the festival’s chaotic joy with the introspective journey of self-discovery—a coming-of-age adventure set in a world both familiar and enchantingly vibrant.

Morning spills across Banner Wharf, painting everything gold—boats bobbing, lanterns trembling in the festival breeze. You, Tidey Ellery, stand ankle-deep on the sun-warmed planks, fingers brushing the frayed ribbon knotted on your wrist: a memory from before last summer cracked wide open. The dock hums with music and possibility; the world tastes of salt and hope and nerves.

(to herself, quietly) Another summer, another start. Or maybe just the same one, in a different shade.

Bright laughter barrels closer. Gabi Solis appears as if conjured by the music, dark curls wild in the wind, skipping over ropes and puddles. She grins—unstoppable.

Tidey! I knew you'd beat me here. Look at this place—it’s bigger, right? Or is it just louder because you’re back?

You say that every year. But I missed this… missed you, too.

Ha! Knew it! I’ve got a surprise for you later—don’t go getting sentimental just yet. You ready for race chaos or what?

Looming quietly at the dock’s edge: Milo Waters, their chin tilted toward the horizon, calm eyes mapping the current. Milo nods in greeting, hands tucked into patched cargo pockets—a silent promise of steadiness.

Morning, Tidey. The low tide’s exposed a new channel by Lantern Hall. Might be worth exploring, unless you’re aiming for excitement over strategy…

I’ll take excitement and strategy, if someone has a map for both.

A burst of chatter; Del Maris arrives, ribbons streaming from her woven basket, her laughter drifting over the crowd.

There you all are! My favorite crew. Festival rules: whoever finishes the day without paint on their shoes owes me a story. Don’t forget—the dock keeps its secrets… if you’re curious enough to ask.

You hear that, Tidey? You’d better watch those spotless shoes. Del’s riddles are harder than the obstacle course.

Just beyond, Micah Reed sketches the scene in a battered notebook, glancing up only when someone laughs. The hope in his eyes brightens when you wave, like sun through low clouds.

Um…hi. If you want, I could draw your boat. Maybe…before the race?

That’d be awesome, Micah. Maybe you’ll catch it faster than I steer.

A breeze kicks across the bay, carrying laughter and distant regrets. You tug gently at your ribbon, heart tight with memory—and something sharper, like temptation. Last year’s mistakes still shadow the sunlight, the whispered legacy of your family impossible to shake. Are you here for healing, or for the chance to win back what was lost?

(to herself, resolve flickering) I could stay safe in their laughter. Or chase what no one else will—what if that’s what I need most?

What do you do? "Stay with Gabi and Milo, focusing on friendship and teamwork. Share your worries—and invite Micah to join the crew for the first challenge." OR "Slip away early, drawn to old legends and the mystery of the lost champion’s journal. Prepare to race alone, haunted by ambition."

The sun is climbing, painting the festival in gold and blue. Banner Wharf is alive—music playing, sails snapping, laughter spilling from every corner. You are Tidey Ellery, threading between crowded docks, feeling the press of family hopes on your shoulders and last summer's stings tucked behind your ribcage. Gabi Solis, Milo Waters, and Micah Reed fall into step around you as the team moves toward the obstacle course, where the Challenge of the Ribbon awaits.

Do you smell the salt, Tidey? This is it—the wild part! First team to cross gets dibs on festival tokens for our boats.

Remember, there's a shortcut—they say it runs behind the old rope barrels near the dock’s floodlight. But it isn’t marked. Del once told me the currents there get tricky when the wind shifts.

I, um, sketched the course map last night. There’s a bend past the painted buoy. Maybe we could decorate our boat with something special, too? Like a stripe or a ribbon.

Del Maris approaches, carrying a spool of ribbons and trailing the sound of her laughter. Her eyes sparkle behind sun lines as she waves you over, her tone both playful and knowing.

Every year the Challenge of the Ribbon tosses up something unexpected—sometimes it’s a crash of boats, sometimes it’s a crash of hearts. Remember, winners aren’t always first past the finish.

Last year, I lost control near the zigzag marker. My brother still jokes about the splash. I want to show them I belong here. But—

Hey. Whoever you were last year isn’t who you are now. You’ve changed—everyone can see it.

Maybe. But what if I steer us wrong again? I keep thinking about the champion’s journal, how it might hold answers. But my friends...they believe in me. I’m not sure which matters more.

Then steer for both, Tidey. We’ll cover for you if things get wild. But this is your moment, too.

You reach the course’s starting line, adrenaline and uncertainty mixing as festival officials shout for teams to ready. You run a hand over your hemp anklet—the one your brother gave you—and remember the ache of old mistakes, your pulse mounting as the Challenge begins.

For luck—and for memory. Tie a festival ribbon wherever you need courage.

Boats jostle. The water trembles. Suddenly, a rival team loses control—there’s a sharp crash near the zigzag marker, a tangle of sails and shouts. This is your chance: you can leap to help, risking your finish, or push past the wreck and race for the win. For a split second, you hesitate—caught between empathy and ambition, between the tide of the past and the promise of now.

Banner Wharf smells like a promise—salt, old cedar, and a hint of fried dough crispening in the festival air. Early sun sprawls along the docks, making the water flare gold. You’re Tidey Ellery. Your hands tighten on a battered ribbon at your wrist—your mother’s good-luck charm, faded from so many races and almost as worn as you feel.

It’s almost time! Please tell me you brought extra hairbands, ‘cause I’m definitely losing one on the course. Milo! Tidey! You ready to leave the other teams in the foamy dust?

We’ll give them a good chase at least. The wind’s out of the west—it makes the zigzag marker tricky. But we’ve got the best lead helmswoman in the bay.

Gabi bumps her shoulder into yours. You can’t help the half-grin—the steady thrum of anticipation is familiar, but it isn’t comfort. Not after last summer’s near-miss. You trace the ribbon on your wrist, as if the old regret woven in its threads has weight you’ll feel forever.

We’ll need more than luck this round. I heard Del added a floating maze and something called the Wishing Current. Whatever that is.

Wishing Current? That sounds—well, dangerous? Or, like, hopeful?

You see, every so often the tide brings surprises. Today might mean a detour, a shortcut, or an extra challenge. Depends how brave you’re feeling.

(reflective) Sometimes I wonder if I’d be better off racing alone. At least then, if I mess up… it’s just on me.

You don’t need to carry that alone, Tidey. It’s not about what went wrong last year. We’re here. Together. That’s what matters.

(teasing, then softening) And besides—if you race solo, who’s going to laugh at my flamingo paddle-dance routine at the starting buoy?

A whistle cracks the morning—the start signal. Crews rush the line. You hesitate, heart pounding. The legend of the lost champion’s journal gnaws at you—an old tale, half-whispered: win alone, find the truth behind your family’s legacy. But your friends look to you, trust lighting their faces, and Micah’s nervous hope is a mirror of your own first festival.

(internal, doubting) Maybe my shot at the journal means letting them down. Or maybe, if I stay, I’ll just disappoint them again.

(timidly) I can, uh, help with the charts… if you want. I’ve been sketching the obstacles since sunrise. Might even have the ‘Wishing Current’ mapped, sort of.

You breathe in. You can almost see the fork in the bay ahead: one path toward personal glory and answers, the other with your friends—toward forgiveness, trust, something new. The festival drums quicken. Your decision shapes the morning—and the rest of your summer.

The band of storm clouds stitches a scar across the horizon as the race in Silver Ribbon Bay barrels toward its end. I can taste salt and rain in the wind, feel my nerves tightening with each roll of thunder. The finish line is no longer a line—it’s something tremulous and out of reach, as blurred and uncertain as last year’s regrets.

(internal, reflecting) Last year, at the zigzag marker, I watched someone sink—a sliver of guilt embedded in my memory ever since. The hemp anklet from my brother tugs at my ankle, rough and familiar. Do you race ahead, or do you turn back?

Tidey! See them out there? The current’s too strong—should we go help, or what? Tell me we’re not just gonna let this be another summer of 'almost.'

Tidey, it’s more important to finish right than to finish first. Regatta legends are written in the small, quiet choices. I’m with you. What do you need?

(resolve shaping) My hand tightens on the tiller. I think we go back. Racing ahead means nothing if we leave someone behind.

Just say the word, Capitana. We’ll show this regatta what real winners look like. Hang tight!

I—I can grab the rope! If someone helps, maybe the boat can float again... I’ve never been this close to the finish, not really.

Micah, you’re with me. Let’s make your first finish one that counts for everyone.

Spray numbs my cheeks as we swing the bow toward the wobbling silhouettes. The other team’s faces are blotched with fear, but their eyes widen as we arrive, not as rivals but as rescue. Together—Gabi hauling, Milo steering, Micah tossing his patched rope—we right their boat. The race is behind us now. It’s only us, the water, and the promise beneath the storm.

(laughing breathlessly) We might not win a trophy, but this is the best finish line I’ve ever crossed.

The old stories always end with someone giving more than they take. I think we made a new one, just now.

(quietly, wide-eyed) I never thought the last stretch was about kindness. Not until you shared it with me.

(internal, reflecting) A hush falls over the dock as we cross together, drenched and exhausted. I remember the first morning at Banner Wharf—the way sunlight poured gold onto the water. I remember promising myself: this year, I’d race to forgive.

Sometimes the brightest ribbons unfurl for those who carry others forward. Tradition bends, but the heart of it stays true. Well steered, Tidey.

Festival music spins and rises as hands link, bodies crowd the dock in a tangle of celebration and gentle tears. Below the banners, I loosen my family’s prized ribbon and tie it to the finish—no longer mine to clutch for glory, but a promise of fresh beginnings. Anyone who needs it can find their courage here at summer’s end.

(to the group, softly) Maybe some rewards aren’t meant to be won. Sometimes all you can do is let go and trust what the tides carry next.

Golden light paints the boats as Gabi, Milo, Micah, and I linger in the hush after—no one missing, no one left behind. Above, the ribbon flutters, echoing the promise that began the summer. This is how stories change—not by racing ahead, but by daring to circle back and tie the ends together.

The sky darkened, thunder rolling over Banner Wharf as the final leg of the Sea Ribbon Regatta twisted into chaos. Salt stung my freckles, rain streaming along the deck. Even before I caught sight of the overturned boat, something in my chest tugged me—reminding me that this moment wasn't only about winning.

Tidey! The front runners are making a dash for the marker. If we sprint now, maybe—

Wait. Look out there—someone's in trouble.

I watched their panicked faces bob in the water, hands clutching at slippery hulls and hopes lost in the storm. Gabi turned, brow creased, uncertain for the first time. Milo's gaze followed mine, and a wordless agreement passed between us: some tides are worth fighting, not fleeing.

We can't leave them. We know these currents—follow me.

Here! Grab on! Don’t give up, just hook your arm—like I showed you at practice, remember?

It’s okay. You’re safe now. Just breathe. We’ll get through the worst of it—together.

I-I can help with the knots. My hands are smaller—let me tie this so it won’t slip again.

Now, that’s the kind of finish Mariner’s View was born for. You’re not just racers—you’re a tide that carries everyone home.

The lightning faded as we crossed, not in victory but in companionship. Drenched, aching, I felt the crowd’s silence break into music, lantern light scattering gold across the wet dock. The festival banners fluttered above, forgiving, alive.

We didn’t win, but… I think this matters more.

Tidey—who needs the trophy, anyway? We’ve got stories no one else can claim.

Not all legends end with banners and applause. Some start with a hand outstretched, even when the future isn’t certain.

In the hush that followed, I slipped my family's ribbon—worn soft from races and regrets—free from my wrist. I pressed it into the palm of the rival captain, not as a prize, but a promise: that kindness would linger longer than any victory.

Take this. May it bring you luck, or courage, or whatever you need most.

The music rose, spun by the breeze. For a moment, beneath the bannered sky, every wound felt lighter; every scar, a map to forgiveness.

I used to think summer was about what you could prove. Now I think it’s about who you reach—how you let yourself be changed.

As the festival shimmered into night, I remembered the words Del offered on the docks—about ribbons marking not just winners, but the gracious, the brave, the ones willing to let go.

And isn’t that the truth about forever? That you don’t have to hold tight to every regret—only to each other.

Stay with Gabi and Milo, focusing on friendship and teamwork. Share your worries—and invite Micah to join the crew for the first challenge.

Slip away early, drawn to old legends and the mystery of the lost champion’s journal. Prepare to race alone, haunted by ambition.

You feel the old spark of friendship, its edges both comforting and sharp—Gabi’s loyalty is a lighthouse, even if her stormy energy sometimes leaves you uncertain.

Milo’s presence settles you, his gentleness filling the spaces between your words. Sometimes you wonder if he hears things in the water you haven’t yet learned to listen for.

A flicker of protectiveness rises in you. You remember your first festival alone—how easy it was to feel outside everything. Micah feels like a question waiting for an answer.

Help the rival team, risking the race to prioritize empathy and collective triumph.

Push ahead, choosing ambition and a chance at regatta glory.

Gabi's energy dares you to let loose, a charge in the air that pulls you away from your worries. Loyalty deepens as she encourages Tidey to embrace the present.

Tidey's trust in Milo grows as she senses his steady confidence. She’s reminded of how his quiet wisdom steadies her when crowds and chaos threaten to overwhelm.

You feel a protective pull toward Micah. His creative ideas—and his nerves—remind you of what it meant to be new, searching for a place in the festival’s story.

Invite Micah onto your crew and face the race as a team. Trust teamwork to carry you past old regrets.

Slip away before the starting bell, steering solo down the secret route. Pursue the lost journal and your family’s hidden truth—whatever the cost.

Del’s confidence is steadying, a reminder that risk is an old friend in Mariner’s View—but her gaze lingers on Tidey a moment too long, knowing last year still stings.

Milo’s steadiness draws you out of your spiraling thoughts. You remember the late nights you spent fixing the old boat, how he never pushed you for details. With Milo, mistakes linger, but they don’t define you.

Trust grows deeper as Gabi’s loyalty shifts into action. She nods fiercely, her wild spark steeled in solidarity.

Milo’s calm steadies the team, anchoring Tidey’s burgeoning confidence. Unspoken understanding blooms, stronger than any rivalry.

As Gabi grabs the rope to toss to the stranded rivals, her loyalty sharpens—our friendship redefined not by how well we compete, but how fiercely we care.

Milo’s steady steering guides us even as rain blurs the world—his patience grounding me, our bond deepening through shared resolve.

His wide-eyed gratitude—shy, tender—reminds me why new beginnings can be the bravest choice.

Her knowing smile assures me my family’s story isn’t lost—just expanded, woven anew in the hands of someone ready to begin again.

Summer at Sea Ribbon

Under the midday sun of Mariner’s View, Tidey Ellery’s summer begins at the starting line—eyes squinted against the gleam off painted hulls, heart pounding louder than the festival drums. Every year, the Sea Ribbon Regatta brings more than glitter and carnival lights: it’s the first chance to prove something, if only Tidey can figure out exactly what. Alongside Gabi, with her hurricane enthusiasm, and Milo, whose silence holds secrets deeper than the bay, the race is as much about charting new friendships as it is about winning. But a weatherworn journal, discovered beneath the old wharf, hints at memories the water has yet to surrender—and at a promise broken before the docks even dried. As the boats speed toward the finish, every choice draws Tidey closer to understanding: what is worth racing for—the trophy, a second chance, or the stories left behind on the tide? And when the final flag falls, will the truth change everything about this summer, and about Tidey herself?
