Description

After a falling out between their mothers, 13-year-old best friends Nell and Lydia are forbidden from seeing each and every other for the whole summer. Nell struggles with the thought of not only losing her best friend, but also losing the only person in whom Nell finds refuge from the difficulties she faces at home. Made up our minds to find a place of their own, Nell and Lydia spend the summer hiding out in an abandoned golf course where Nell and Lydia find mysterious symbols scattered all over the grounds. As they reveal the name of the game of the symbols, Nell discovers she is not the only one seeking haven and begins to uncover what’s in point of fact been hidden all along, in spite of everything allowing herself to be really seen.

Hidden Summer is a quietly beautiful coming of age story about self-discovery, circle of relatives, and friendship. An elegantly written children’s book debut from an award-winning writer in the vein of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and for fans of Moon Over Manifest.
