The Summer of Letting Go
The Summer of Letting go is by Gae Polisner. It is about a girl named Francesca "Frankie" Schnell who's brother Simon died when she was 11. She thinks that it is her fault, and she doesn't talk very much to her parents because she is so embarrassed. In the beginning of the summer Francesca gets a job watching a little boy named Frankie Sky. He reminds her of Simon, and she starts to think that Simon was reincarnated in her body. Francesca's friend Lisette's boyfriend believes in reincarnation, and they fall in love. My favorite character in the Summer of Letting Go is Frankie Sky's mom, because she is a very caring person. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. It is 300 pages long, but I think it is definitely a one week book. There are not too many mature topics in this realistic fiction book.
