Summer of '77 by Rebecca Amiss is a great nostalgic trip, exploring huge changes in childhood, from death in the family to a big move! I read Summer of '77 in June of 2022! I really enjoy Rebecca Amiss's writing and have more of her books on my tbr! The next one I have my eyes on is South of Home!
A bit about the bookmark...
Elements I pulled from Summer of '77 for the bookmark, includes a quote I absolutely love, the setting, some major themes and more...
- Scent- triple citrus (inspired by my favorite quote from the book: "Anyone can make lemons into lemonade," she said. "But to make limes into lemonade you have to work extra hard.")
- Fabric- gold circle spirals on blue and purple (inspired by sparklers and fireworks as the book takes place around the 4th of July and both are tied back to changes in traditions)
- Charm- root beer float (important traditions and grief)
- Button- sparkly shell (tied back to the story's setting)
- Ribbon- sheer gold
Blurb...
Twelve year old Albert Weiss' life is crashing down. Six months after the death of his mom, his dad decides to move them from Manhattan to York, Maine for a fresh start. With his grief still very raw, Albert becomes more determined to hate his new home, constantly putting him at odds with his father. Albert's dad avoids every opportunity to mention his mom, making Albert feel like he has no one to turn to.
Enter Robin Harper, Albert's eleven year old next door neighbor who blows into his life like a tornado. She is eccentric as she is compassionate–and someone who just may be the key to Albert and his dad healing.
