Book Review of The Seeing Summer

The Seeing Summer
The Seeing Summer
Author: Jeannette Eyerly
Genre: Children's Books
Book Type: Paperback


This is a great book! I just reread it as an adult, but have kept on my shelf since I was a junior higher. It's about a girl who anxiously awaits the new family to move in next door, only to find out that the daughter in the new family is blind from birth. As the summer progresses, she learns to overcome her prejudices and they become best friends. The climax of the story involves a truly dangerous kidnapping -- but I won't tell you the end! It's very exciting and delightful.

It is reading level 6.7 according to Scholastic.
