Minn and Jake's Almost Terrible Summer

99 pp. | Farrar/Foster | August, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-34977-6 $15.00
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Geneviève Côté. In gentle free verse chapters, Jake learns that spending the summer in his former LA neighborhood isn't really the fun he thought it would be. And he keeps running into former crush Haylee when he's in very compromising situations. A visit from best friend Minn seems like the solution, but miscommunication and jealousy abound. Textured black-and-white illustrations reflect the multi-layered relationships.
