The young adult novel "Run Sheep Run" by Bob and Jan Young was first published in 1959 but still retains a surprising relevance to the present.
Sixteen year old Judy Cannon's life changes drastically when her mother takes ill and Judy is forced to move to an old house on the beach with an uncle she barely knows.
The move away from old friends and habits helps Judy to develop new interests including: Oceanography, art, and even business when she helps her Uncle Mort start a bait shop.
It is a little unusual for a novel written so long ago to encourage young women to pursue interests in science and business.
