WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD!

Get a feel for Toronto’s Beaches community, where Sandy and Lennie live, by taking this photo tour of their neighbourhood. The photos follow the progression of Somewhere in Blue’s plot, beginning at the book’s first scene. Most photos are accompanied by a quotation drawn from the book, as well as the page number on which it appears, so you can “see” where the book took place.
