Every year young Calvin looked forward to his summers in Portofino. As the son of a missionary, Calvin felt he had to tell lies to appear normal. He could be a regular kid and see Jennifer, the light of his eyes. Portofino is the heartwarming story of Calvin Becker and his family's stay in this seaside Italian town. Oh, but poor Calvin. His sister keeps a miniature Bible with her at all times-in case the Russians invade-his mother tries to convert anyone she talks to, and his father could fall into a very bad mood at any time. But Calvin's too busy being a young man in this touching coming-of-age novel.
