Summer of Gypsy Moths

I was rather shocked by the plot twist at the beginning of Summer of Gypsy Moths.

At the same time, I thought author Sara Pennypacker did a good job of revealing the thought processes of the two main characters in the midst of it.

The result is a beautiful story of finding a place and allowing yourself time to be a child after growing up too quickly – as well as appreciating someone completely different than yourself.

Highly recommended for late elementary school and up.
