Bird Lake Moon: There are ghosts at Bird Lake, and they’re haunting Mitch Sinclair and Spencer Stone. Not the Halloween kind, but ghosts of the past. Memories of how life was before—before the divorce, before the accident. Can their ghosts bring Mitch and Spencer together, as friends? Or will their secrets keep them apart? Either way, it is a summer that neither Mitch nor Spencer will ever forget.
The Birthday Room: "Two of the things Benjamin Hunter received for his twelfth birthday took him completely by surprise: A room and a letter. The room was from his parents. The letter was from his uncle." Ben was just two years old when he and his uncle, Ian, were last together, so Ben didn’t remember him. And no one in Ben’s family ever talked about the man. Thenthe letter arrived, changing Ben’s life, and changing his family in unexpected ways. And there was the birthday room…
Words of Stone: Blaze Werla is having a routine summer. He spends his days alone, wandering around the hill next door, and his nights awake, avoiding the dreams that haunt him. Then a message appears on the side of the hill and Blaze’s predictable summer suddenly takes a turn toward the mysterious. By the time he meets outgoing Joselle Stark, Blaze finds himself in entirely new territory, where the unexpected seems almost normal.
Protecting Marie: "Fanny sensed that from the moment she was born she was meant to have a dog. It was as though some unique and independent organ deep inside her, like a tiny heart, couldn’t thrive properly without one." With humor and compassion Kevin Henkes tells Fanny’s story. But this is not just a dog story. This is a story about a girl and tier father. This is a story about growing up. This is a story about wanting and getting and realizing that nothing is simple or easy.
Sun & Spoon: It had been only two months since Spoon Gilmore’s grandmother died, but already he was worried that he would forget her. That’s why he needed something of Gram’s – something special that had belonged to her, something to remember her by. Spoon wasn’t quite sure what the something was, though he knew he would know it when he saw it. But Spoon’s little sister, Joanie, did not leave him much time to look. She was always following him, demanding attention. Spoon didn’t have the time he needed to think, or perhaps he wouldn’t have done what he did.
Olive’s Ocean: "Olive Barstow was dead. She’d been hit by a car on Monroe Street while riding her bicycle weeks ago. That was about all Martha knew." Martha Boyle and Olive Barstow could have been friends. But they weren’t–and now all that is left are eerie connections between two girls who were in the same grade at school and who both kept the same secret without knowing it. Now Martha can’t stop thinking about Olive. A family summer on Cape Cod should help banish those thoughts; instead, they seep in everywhere. And this year Martha’s routine at her beloved grandmother’s beachside house is complicated by the Manning boys. Jimmy, Tate, Todd, Luke, and Leo. But especially Jimmy. What if, what if, what if, what if?
The world can change in a minute.
