4-6Orchard Novel series.
Illustrated by
Natalie Andrewson.
New-to-town Peter feels left out when twin sis Olive spends more time with her new friends from Garrison's Apple Orchard (Ice Cream Summer). Through adventures both real and surreal, Peter learns the value of friendship and speaking up for himself. Fans of the realistic predecessor may find this sequel's detour into video-game fantasy somewhat jarring; still, the quick-moving illustrated plot has young-middle-grade appeal.
