Summerhouse Time by Eileen Spinelli
Every year a rented pink cottage full of family, swapping stories, and riding waves mean Summerhouse Time for Sophie. Best of all is sharing a room with her favorite cousin and laughing and trading secrets like two happy peas in a cousin pod. Sophie can't wait! But when she asks the now-a-teenager Colleen if she's looking forward to their time together, Colleen just says "I guess so."What? It's the best time of the year, the time they both love. In just a little bit, they will all be together in the cottage on the beach. Will this year be just as wonderful, just like always?
Accompanied by charming black-and-white illustrations, classic growingup experiences radiate throughout the pages of this sunny, anytime story.
Eileen Spinelli is the author of A Big Boy Now, Hug a Bug, and the popular When Mother Comes Home Tonight, among other picture books and poetry collections. Her twenty-five grandchildren and husband, Jerry (also a writer), are her immediate audience when she writes a narrative. Eileen teaches creative writing and poetry in addition to writing stories. Media, Pennsylvania is where the Spinellis call home.
