Lovely.” Kirkus ★ “Frazee—a virtuoso of mood and line—takes the surly farmer through bafflement, contemplativeness and true affection. The beauty of an unexpected visit, done beautifully.” Publisher’s Weekly ★ “A gorgeously executed account of the power of companionship and compassion.”

So while Mom "finds herself," Stella fantasizes that someday she'll come back to the Cape and settle down. The only obstacle to her plan? Angel, the foster kid Louise has taken in. Angel couldn't be less like her name--she's tough and prickly, and the girls hardly speak to each other.
But when tragedy unexpectedly strikes, Stella and Angel are forced to rely on each other to survive, and they learn that they are stronger together than they could have imagined. In Summer of Gypsy Moths (Balzer + Bray, $15.99) by Sara Pennypacker, the two discover the one thing they do have in common: dreams of finally belonging to a real family.
