Gr 9 Up–Winnie Woodson has her dream summer in Misty Haven already planned. She’ll waitress at her grandmother’s restaurant, hang out with her “ungirlfriend” Kara, and watch over her little brother Winston, a budding chef. Winning Misty Haven’s Summer Queen contest and having her confusing crush, Dallas, as the town’s Summer King is not a situation Winniw was expecting. Surprisingly, she finds that she and the Summer King have a magnetic attraction she wants to explore.

VERDICT This novel takes on the topic of love with an honesty that is refreshing.
