Readers' favorite five star review

The Water's Edge, by Thomasina Tissue, was a lot of fun to read, and even as an adult, I found it to be a delightful bit of escapism. I love a good heist and am more inclined to it when the group not only has a valiant motive but also when they are underdogs. And who is a greater underdog than kids up against skilled conmen? What I really enjoyed the most though was Tissue giving extremely deep insight into the Setalcott tribe, who were almost completely decimated after many millennia of life after the arrival of Europeans, as part of the story. Tissue does well in giving us hidden metaphors, the standout to me being that we cannot simply bury the past. As soon as the digging starts, literally, pieces of the past resurface. We may not be responsible for what happened, but we are accountable, and Tanya is willing to risk all to right what she can of past wrongs. For the author to weave this tightly into a chapter book for children is remarkable. Very highly recommended.

About Thomasina Tissue

Thomasina Tissue grew up in Setauket, Long Island. Captured in her heart at a young age, her stories are woven from a tapestry of a time spent, long ago, in the salty ocean air, walking along beaches, laughing with friends, and mixing her own wild imagination with regular and not-so-regular things that happened to her. And there the stories bided their time for over forty years. After leaving Long Island, she grew, married, and became a teacher of reading and writing, all the while continuing to feel the longing to write her own stories. When she retired from teaching, her husband asked her if she would like a special gift. She fluttered her eyelashes at him and said, “I’d love a laptop.” Thinking this was a slightly strange request, he asked, “Whatever for?” She responded, “I have stories in me that need to come out!” Three months later she had completed the first draft of The Water’s Edge, her first middle-grade fiction work. The Water’s Edge was inspired by the original Setalcott people of the Setauket area. It is about a girl named Tanya who finds herself in a race to save an ancient artifact. Tanya must come up with a way to help her friend, and outsmart Checkmate, before her beloved friend Jack loses his home. Signed copies of The Water's Edge are currently available at Bound Booksellers, in the Westhaven neighborhood, Franklin, Tennessee. The Water's Edge is also available on Amazon. Scroll up to find the link to order. Hard cover, soft cover, and e-book available.

Her second middle-grade fiction work, Boy Patriot received a Kid’s Choice Kid’s Literature Writing Contest Honorable Mention 2023. This book takes place on Strong’s Neck, Long Island and will be released summer 2025. Thomasina is a proud member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and the Long Island Authors. Besides writing, Thomasina’s favorite things to do are meeting other people's dogs and giving them scritchies, yoga, traveling the world when she can afford it, pretending she is fluent in Spanish and loving on her sweet daughter Emma, and husband Dan, and not all in that order.
