One Summer in Between

This is essentially an old-fashioned novel, because it is nourishing. It leaves a good taste in the mouth. It is spiced with wit and laced with vitality—everybody in it is glad to be alive—yet its basic ingredients are those two fundamental to a good story: courage and love. This is a book to read aloud, to lend to friends, to reread, and to treasure. One Summer In Between is a vital story, rich with detail. Harriet Brown is mischievous, thoughtful, wicked, pert, acidly charming, and made, certainly, of the stuff-that-endures.—Gwendolyn Brooks, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet
