FOR ADULTS:

“Every Summer After” by Carly Fortune Persephone Fraser has built an exciting life for herself in the big city, but has never stopped longing for the joy she felt on the lake each summer. And maybe, she’s still pining a bit for the one that got away – Sam Florek. Until one day, Percy receives a phone call and finds herself rushing back to the lake. Confronted by the feelings she left behind, Percy gets to know Sam all over again, discovering that her feelings aren’t buried as deep as she thought. The pair have a second chance at their once-in-a-lifetime love story, but need to find the courage to confront the hurts from the past. Alternating between the past and the present, you will fall in love with the town of Barry’s Bay and the warm cast of characters that mold Percy and Sam from young teens into professional adults. Percy and Sam’s love story leaps off the page and makes you long for a lake house to call your own. Every Summer After is a little bit of spice and a whole lot of sweet, and makes for a perfect nostalgic summer read.

Lydia’s uncle oversees a museum full of paper artifacts like books, typewriters and more, but it rarely gets visitors.

However, she has another motive for looking through the paper. She is convinced the secret to her parents’ disappearance is somewhere in there, and scours the book her mom was holding just before she went missing. Long story short, Lydia’s other uncle is put in charge of the museum, she accidentally files a missing persons report, a countdown starts and chaos ensues. Lydia needs to find her parents before the paper museum disappears, too. Perfect for kids who love mysteries, stories about families and a little bit of magic, this book will capture the imagination and inspire a love of the written word.
