What Did You Read Over the Summer?

I just finished reading Cicada Summer by Andrea Beatty. Did you know that Andrea Beatty lives in Naperville? This book is on the Battle of Books list this year. It's about a girl named Lily who lives in a small town in Illinois. Lily likes to read Nancy Drew books. She's in sixth grade and hasn't spoken in two years. Why? I can't tell you this. I can tell you that a new girl, Tinny, moves into town. Tinny is not so nice to Lily and discovers Lily's secret. But Lily discovers a mystery about Tinny also. Girls and boys will like this book - boys will relate to Lily's older brother Pete. One of my favorite parts in the book is when Pete and Lily create pirate ships and sail them! It's a quick read - 167 pages (the pages are small).
