However, it was only a tiny bit disconnected. For the most part, I found Cedar Lee’s story mixed with the mystery of Lisette’s death went together well. Issues: The only (albeit, minor) issue that I had was about the 2 stories and the way they wove together. I enjoyed reading about the Summerlost festival and now I want to see a play. The setting could have been anywhere, yet it was also a really special place with a lot of character. It’s a sweet story with characters who feel really real. I went through a variety of emotions without ever feeling heavy or overwhelmed. This story feels simple and yet also really deep.
I hadn’t picked up a book in a couple of weeks, which for me…is a LONG time. Infused with emotion and rich with understanding, Summerlost is the touching middle grade debut from Ally Condie, the international bestselling author of the Matched series, that highlights the strength of family and personal resilience in the face of tragedy.įeelings: This book saved me from a pretty deep reading slump.
And the mystery of the strange gifts that keep appearing for Cedar. The mystery of the tragic, too-short life of the Hollywood actress who haunts the halls of Summerlost. Soon, she not only has a new friend in Leo and a job working concessions at the festival, she finds herself surrounded by mystery. Intrigued, Cedar follows him to the renowned Summerlost theatre festival. They’re just settling into their new house when a boy named Leo, dressed in costume, rides by on his bike. But now Cedar and what’s left of her family are returning to the town of Iron Creek for the summer. Synopsis from Goodreads: It’s the first real summer since the devastating accident that killed Cedar’s father and younger brother, Ben. “…once you see something big, you can’t help seeing it in everything small.”
