{"product_id":"caterpillar-summer","title":"Caterpillar Summer","description":"This beautifully written, emotional debut perfect for fans of Lynda Mullaly Hunt or Ali Benjamin tells the story of a girl, her special needs brother, and the summer they will never forget.\n\n\"An engaging, honest book.\" --Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, Newbery Honor-winning author of The War That Saved My Life\n\n\"A beautiful story of family, forgiveness, life on an island, and growing up.”--Kate Messner, author of Breakout and The Seventh Wish\n\nCat and her brother Chicken have always had a very special bond--Cat is one of the few people who can keep Chicken happy. When he has a \"meltdown\" she's the one who scratches his back and reads his favorite story. She's the one who knows what Chicken needs. Since their mom has had to work double-hard to keep their family afloat after their father passed away, Cat has been the glue holding her family together.\n\nBut even the strongest glue sometimes struggles to hold. When a summer trip doesn't go according to plan, Cat and Chicken end up spending three weeks with grandparents they never knew. For the first time in years, Cat has the opportunity to be a kid again, and the journey she takes shows that even the most broken or strained relationships can be healed if people take the time to walk in one another's shoes.\n\nAn Indies Introduce Pick\nA Parents Best Book of the Year\nA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year\nAn Amazon Best Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 168119743X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.168119743X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McDunn, Gillian\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
