is certain to captivate readers of all ages."Granny took Robert's hand and smiled at him. "Once I realized the custody decision was out of my hands, there was but one thing for me to do. I decided if we were only going to have this one summer together, I would try to give you and Ellie the most glorious time of your lives. A summer of magic, beauty, and joy.
A summer to remember forever."
