Since the list has been fairly slow, I will give
everyone something to ponder. I would like to do a
display of books that take place during the summer. I
know the members of the list can come up with a bunch.
I will compile the list. Thank you.

Reid’s romp of a book follows red-headed Cordelia, her gallant and

escaped trained bear, and others on amiable adventures that include
driverless wagon chases, a kidnaping, and the search for buried
treasure.

of a summer colony called Retreat in Maine, looks back over her life.

summerhouse in Maine for years, but when neighbor Humphrey Taylor is
found bludgeoned to death in her living room, Susan's relaxing
holiday goes out with the tide. Fourth of July mystery.

Well, many have metioned Summer Sisters by Judy Blume. An excellent
suggestion! Wifey, also by Blume, occurs in summer as well.

Also, Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya
Sisterhood by West, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Brasheres, Beach
Music by Conroy, and Armageddon Summer by Coleville and Yolen all take
place in summer.

Hope this helps!
