A review by ratesjul
A Summer to Die by Lois Lowry

5.0

I've read this book a time or two before, and for some reason some parts of the plot hadn't stuck in my head completely. I'd forgotten about Meg's skill with a camera, a skill that is talked about so vividly that I really REALLY wish I could see some of her photos. I'd forgotten how skillfully Lois Lowry spins words into sentences at time, creating vivid images and emotions. And I'd forgotten some of the other plots that spin into place (seemingly effortlessly) around the summer they spend in the country. This is a beautiful story.
