The Forget-Me-Not Summer
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Twelve-year-old Marigold Silver is hoping to get her first kiss from her big crush this summer—and get her acting career rolling in Los Angeles. But her plan comes crashing down when her parents send her to Cape Cod along with her sisters, Zinnia and little Lily, to visit their Aunt Sunny. Now these LA girls are stuck in a small town in Massachusetts, and they have to adjust to things like sharing a room and living without a TV. There isn't even cellphone service!
With the help of Aunt Sunny's cheery disposition and her yummy brownies, though, the girls are won over—and before they know it, they're cracking lobster shells at clambakes, making new friends, and even organizing a local talent show. But after a Hollywood celebrity arrives in town, Marigold is soon going to face a tough decision . . .
Full of moments both humorous and reflective, The Forget-Me-Not Summer is about three girls facing their fears, adjusting to change, and learning how to band together as the strongest version of themselves: sisters.
"Reminiscent of the Penderwicks series . . . a book that might well become a favorite." —Booklist (starred review)

- "The real-life dynamics between the sisters is humorous and touching. . . . This heartwarming story is hard to put down." —School Library Journal
Twelve-year-old Marigold Silver is hoping to get her first kiss from her big crush this summer—and get her acting career rolling in Los Angeles. But her plan comes crashing down when her parents send her to Cape Cod along with her sisters, Zinnia and little Lily, to visit their Aunt Sunny. Now these LA girls are stuck in a small town in Massachusetts, and they have to adjust to things like sharing a room and living without a TV. There isn't even cellphone service!
With the help of Aunt Sunny's cheery disposition and her yummy brownies, though, the girls are won over—and before they know it, they're cracking lobster shells at clambakes, making new friends, and even organizing a local talent show. But after a Hollywood celebrity arrives in town, Marigold is soon going to face a tough decision . . .
Full of moments both humorous and reflective, The Forget-Me-Not Summer is about three girls facing their fears, adjusting to change, and learning how to band together as the strongest version of themselves: sisters.

March 1, 2015
Gr 5-7-Marigold, Zinnie, and Lily Silver live in Los Angeles with their screenwriter dad and editor mom. When both parents get out-of-town jobs, the girls are unwillingly shipped to the coastal town of Pruet, MA, to stay with their Aunt Sunny. Twelve-year-old Marigold is livid. She has just gotten an agent for her budding acting career plus an opportunity to audition for her favorite book-turned-movie, Nite Sprites. Spunky Aunt Sunny merrily greets the trio with the distressing news that there is no cell phone reception, no TV, and a slow internet connection. But the house is inviting, Aunt Sunny cooks delicious pancakes, and the girls are allowed to go to the beach by themselves. The sisters excitedly learn that Philip Rathbone, the producer of Nite Sprites, has a Pruet summer home. A community talent show seems like just the thing to catch his eye, so Zinnie goes about writing an original play that will spotlight Marigold's acting ability. The producer turns up to judge the show, along with catty teenage megastar Amanda Mills, forcing Marigold to make a crucial choice. Should she stay loyal to the family and town she has learned to love or turn her back in order to impress the Hollywood glitterati? The cozy, connected characters and activities of Pruet, complete with clambakes, amateur talent shows, and first kisses, are the perfect antidote for a girl caught up in the empty allures of technology and stardom. Zinnie also makes self-discoveries-she may not have the traditional beauty and acting talent of Marigold, but she is creative and resilient. The real-life dynamics between the sisters is humorous and touching. VERDICT This heartwarming story is hard to put down.-Diane McCabe, John Muir Elementary, Santa Monica, CA
