Caterpillar Summer
I thoroughly enjoyed this realistic fiction novel by Gillian McDunn. Cat is excited to spend some of her summer vacation visiting her best friend in Georgia. But those plans fall apart, and her and her special-needs brother, Chicken, are dropped off with their mother's parents on an island in North Carolina. They have never met them. At first, Cat is nervous. Chicken does not do well with change. How can Cat take care of him here? She soon grows to love the place, finds friends, and learns to fish. She learns a lot about herself and her mom's past, while also teaching her family about forgiveness. It was a beautiful and sweet story. (FIC MCD)
