HarperCollins Publishers Inc Summer and July
Book SynopsisFern took the blame for Juillet’s goth-girl clothes and “not-real” fears, like sharks and rip currents and the number three.Then Juillet meets Summer, a local surfer girl who knows the coolest people and places around town.Trade Review“Hilarious, tender and wise, Summer and July is a story about facing our fears and learning to embrace the world. Do not miss this luminous gem of a novel.” — Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal Winning author of The One and Only Ivan “Capturing the urgency and intensity of middle-school friendships, what he gets right is important: the thin, confusing line between best buddy and queer crush; the simultaneous need for independence and parental presence; and the ways that adolescent identity is a dance between frustration and buoyancy that can reveal itself in friendship.” — Publishers Weekly “This novel is as much a love letter to California as it is a fish-out-of-water, new-friendship-or-budding-romance tale. For readers longing for escapade and sunshine, as well as those struggling with their own demons, Juillet and Summer are sure to bring companionship, understanding, and the urge to catch a few waves. “ — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Engaging first-person narrative has emotional openness, wry reflection, and vividly drawn settings. There’s something real and haunting about these vulnerable characters and their journey together. A beach book with some complexity as well as a happy ending.” — Booklist

An unmitigated delight." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Sage has built a fully realized world populated by intriguing characters and terrifying monsters.

Fans of fantasy and adventure will snap this up and eagerly await the sequel. A first purchase." — School Library Journal (starred review) "In this fast-paced fantasy, first in a duology, Sage (the Septimus Heap series) weaves an engaging tale of constant danger and capricious magic. Sage’s world is inventive and weird. Following multiple viewpoints . . . the overlapping, interweaving narrative allows for a panoramic experience with an almost madcap intensity." — Publishers Weekly "[A] miscommunication-driven goose chase [that is] charming, if sometimes frustrating . . . to watch unfold.
