I am reviewing a copy of Forever This Summer through Little, Brown Books for Young Readers and Netgalley:
Georgie has no idea what to expect when she, Mamma and Peaches are plopped down in the middle of small town US, also known as Bogalusa, Louisiana, which is where Mamma grew up and Aunt Vie is in need of constant care.
Georgie wants to be able to help out at her once favorite dinner that served celebrities like the Jackson 5 and the Supremes, unfortunately everyone is too busy to show her the ropes and Mama is treating her like a baby, not letting her leave her sight. When she is finally allowed to leave on her own, Georgie makes friends with Markie, a foster kid who'd been under Aunt Elvie's care--who has a limb difference and a huge attitude.
After Markie asks Georgie to help her find her mom, and suddenly summer has a real purpose. But when Georgie and Markie's histories begin to entwine, Georgie becomes more desperate to find the truth. But after words are spoken they cannot be taken back and once Georgie knows the truth, she may even find a way to right past wrongs and help Aunt Vie and Markie out after all.
I give Forever This Summer five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
