A Summer to Die

De: Lois Lowry

Narrado por: Andi Arndt

Acclaimed author Lois Lowry's first novel, A Summer to Die is a poignant and perceptive tale of love and tragedy.

Meg isn't thrilled when she gets stuck sharing a bedroom with her older sister Molly. The two of them couldn't be more different, and it's hard for Meg to hide her resentment of Molly's beauty and easy popularity. But now that the family has moved to a small house in the country, Meg has a lot to accept.

Just as the sisters begin to adjust to their new home, Meg feels that Molly is starting up again by being a real nuisance. But Molly's constant grouchiness, changing appearance, and other complaints are not just part of a new mood. And the day Molly is rushed to the hospital, Meg has to accept that there is something terribly wrong with her sister. That's the day Meg's world changes forever. Is it too late for Meg to show her true feelings?

Nice story

Made me cry. Of course. It was a sweet sad story full of nice people. Heartwarming I guess you’d call it. Despite the sadness.

Love this book

This is one of my favorite books of Lois’. Was so glad to see it in the plus catalog.

Great book! I love Lois Lowry!

This was a wonderful book. Well written and very well read. I absolutely love Lois Lowry she always uses such wonderful description in her books which allows you to paint a very vivid picture in your mind.

Heartwarming!

I first read the hardcopy of this book the summer I turned 12 years old or so. I always remembered it. I am 40 now and was soo excited when I learned it was an audiobook! I fell in love with this story all over again! It was a great throwback listen!

fantastic book

The narration was excellent. The characters seemed alive. Sad but not depressing. Uplifting and positive ending.

Eloquent as always

As always Ms. Lowry has a gentle way of bringing you to the point of her stories. It’s a slow moving mourning that you know is there but like the character’s you are in a sort of denial. Some really memorable lines and concepts in this book.

Great story..

I recommend this book if you’re in the look for something short simple it is a little sad and makes you think about life.

Beautiful Story

What a great story, beautifully written and read, easy to follow and picture the scenes.
