Why read it?
1 author picked Caterpillar Summer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of my favorite middle grade books ever! Caterpillar Summer is about Cat who finds herself spending the summer with her estranged grandparents at their beach house. The setting in this book is so vividly rendered—it made me immediately want to take a trip to a Carolina beach—but it is also a book that heartfeltly covers topics such as grief, sibling relationships, and what it means to just get to be a kid. This book really captured my whole heart.
From Jasmine's list on middle grade with heart and honesty.
