Here is a quick description and cover image of book Gallant Waif written by Anne Gracie which was published in April 1st 2001. Brief Summary of Book: Gallant Waif by Anne Gracie ![]() ![]() I only vaguely remember the plot of A Summer to Die but I do recall being deeply engrossed and even staying up late one night to finish reading it with the door closed and a flashlight under the covers because my dad had yelled at me for the 4th time "Go to bed, tomorrow is a school day!". Martin, Barthe DeClements, and Louis Sachar are largely responsible for very early in life shaping my love of books. Taylor, Ellen Conford, Judy Blume, Beaverly Cleary, Anne M. I like to think authors like Lois Lowry, Mildred D. Sure, my taste has morphed a great deal from the angsty middle grade fiction that is A Summer to Die but that tingle felt when opening a new book, the excitement from walking into a library/bookstore, and general PASSION for all things literary are still there. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are. This book is in very good condition and will be shipped within 24 hours of ordering. I probably read it about 30 years ago but thinking about it and all the other Lois Lowry books I read way back when (I freakin' LOVED the Anastasia series) made me realize how much I have ALWAYS loved reading. Un Verano Para Morir/ Summer to Die (Punto De Encuentro) (Spanish Edition) Lois Lowry. Golly! I had this book on my mind recently for some reason. ![]() |
