summer

Sara Godfrey had always found herself lost in the beauty of the swans that visited the lake near her house every summer. This summer was no different except for the fact that her brother, Charlie, who was usually her companion, was missing.

As the summer sun painted the town of Klickitat Street golden, Ramona Quimby, a lively, scrappy second grader was planning her biggest picnic yet. Ramona's adventurous spirit was already well known in their neighborhood, her antics earning her the title 'Ramona the Pest.' This time, she was excited to prove that she could organize a fun, memorable event without any pest-like behaviour. Wearing her most favorite overalls and wide brimmed hat, she set off to the park, her picnic basket swinging in her small, determined hands.
