A review by rich2023
Caterpillar Summer by Gillian McDunn
5.0
This was my first book by this author and I am looking forward to reading more books by her. I thought was going to be a simple book about kids visiting their grandparents for the summer. This book was so much more. This book has depth and I loved the characters.
I would like to read more about this family.
Quotes
“Half of life is showing up.”
“Holding a family is a quiet kind of work. Sometimes that work doesn’t get noticed so much.”
What I enjoyed about this book:
-Her granddad Macon teaching her how to fish
- I liked seeing Macon and Cat open themselves up and grow in their relationship.
- The ending was very realistic and not rushed. Cat’s mom and Macon started back talking and were on the road to a better relationship
- The illustrations of Caterpillar and Chicken!
