The Firefly Summer

out now!

Ryanna Stuart had her summer all figured out. It was organized. Scheduled. Planned. Then the letter arrived—from grandparents she can’t remember. After all, she was just a kid when her mother died, and her dad never talks about that side of the family. But now there’s this letter – with an invitation to spend the summer with them.

 

It’s a chance to get to know her grandparents. A chance to find out more about her mom. Ryanna takes a deep breath and decides to go.

 

What she finds is Camp Van Camp. A sprawling, defunct sleepaway camp where her grandparents live. There, she discovers a whole family waiting for her. A big family. A loud family. A chaotic family of aunts and uncles and cousins! People who have memories of her mom from when she was Ryanna’s age. Clues to her past, just like a treasure map.

 

But also—there’s a real-life treasure map! Like actually.

 

Over the course of one unforgettable summer—filled with s’mores and swimming, adventure and fun, and even a decades-old mystery to solve—Ryanna will discover a whole new side of herself.

 

And that sometimes, the last place you expected to be is the place where you really belong.​​​
