INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Gordon, Amy

Painting the Rainbow

(4) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old cousins Holly and Ivy narrate this novel set in 1965 at their family's annual reunion at Otter Lake. The constant fighting among their relatives this summer seems to involve a secret surrounding their uncle's long-ago accidental death and a Japanese American boy. The girls find photos, letters, and a diary--all a bit too conveniently--but the mystery is engrossing nonetheless.
