Description
Twelve-year-old Addie eagerly awaits her cousins' summer visit to her prairie home but once they arrive, finds things much more complicated than she had ever imagined.
Quick Summary
Set on the prairie in the early 1900s, this story captures the bittersweet magic of summer cousins and learning that the best-laid plans often go wonderfully awry. Addie navigates sibling squabbles, surprising secrets, and the hard work of keeping the peace while discovering that family can be both exhausting and wonderful. If your kid loves stories like "The Penderwicks" or "The Year of the Book" that blend family humor with real emotional moments, Addie's Long Summer will feel like coming home. Perfect for kids ages 9-12 in grades 4-6.
