All Summer Long by Hope Larson
4.0

This was surprisingly good! ‘All Summer Long’ is about Bina, a 13 year old girl heading into her first summer without her best friend, Austin. She befriends his older sister briefly and plays a lot on her electric guitar.

I think this handled growing up so well! I love that Bina had found her “thing” and embraced it. I liked that she stood up for herself to Charlie and they made up at the end. I liked that Bina and Austin remained friends even when he got a girlfriend. It was a fantastic middle school summer story.
