That Summer

That Summer by Sarah Dessen  [YA Fiction]

by Trisha, 7th grader

The book That Summer by Sarah Dessen is the story of a sixteen-year-old girl named Haven who is going through many emotional changes. First, her dad, recently divorced from her mom, gets married to Lorna, the Weather Lady at the dad’s TV station. The girl’s sister is getting married and leaving Haven and her mom, changing their home from a family of four to a family of two. I love how Haven becomes free from all the stresses and pressures of her life at last. This book is funny, sad, and inspiring. I recommend this book!
