The House on Sunrise Lagoon: Sam Makes a Splash by Nicole Melleby
4.0
Fans of The Vanderbeekers and the Penderwicks will love this new family: the Ali-O’Connors!

Sam wants nothing more than to help her moms by taking over the family business one day. She’s always out with her sister, Harbor, working on the boats with their mom. Sam is also adopted, like several of her siblings, and believes taking over the family business one day will help solidify her place in the family. Unfortunately, Mom’s business isn’t doing so well and Sam is worried she’ll have to sell her boat and go work for someone else. Sam has the summer to figure out how to save the family business, and fast!

Just adorable. I loved this MG book about a non-nuclear family and how it addresses having two moms, adopted siblings and how they all love each other so much. This one reads on the younger side of MG. Great job with the first novel in the series.
CW: adoption, homophobia
