Dina, July 5, 2008

I really enjoyed this book. It's a coming of age story set in a small town over the course of the summer that the young protagonist turns 10. The story contrasts the old fashioned feeling of the small town with more complicated themes of modern life. She spends the summer with a young boy who unexpectedly comes to live at her house. They befriend an artist suffering with AIDS who has returned to his home to convalesce. The children spend afternoons reading to him from the adventures of Lewis and Clark. The detailed and lovely writing makes you feel like you are there with the characters.
