Summer Without Anna

Junie misses her sister - and their summers together before Anna got sick.

When Junie's mum and dad leave her with Nan and Pop for the summer, they promise they'll be back to get her "the minute Anna's well enough." Then they hand her Anna's camera with a note that reads, "In case you find Edmund." Over the course of the long summer, Junie spends her days floating in the lake, fishing with Pop and taking lots of pictures - though none of Edmund, the elusive giant turtle. Edmund will have to wait, just like Junie's waiting, until Junie finally gets to see her sister again.

A heartfelt tribute to the love between siblings, this poignant exploration of a child's inner world during uncertain times is perfect for any young person dealing with an ill family member, homesickness or any type of uncertainty.
