Why read it?
1 author picked The Last Last-Day-of-Summer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is such a fun book, filled with fascinating characters, unusual creatures, and a camera that can freeze time. I loved hanging out with the main characters, Otto and Sheed. They are smart, fun, and relatable. Their adventure is both exciting and humorous, and their relationship is realistic and heartwarming. I love a good adventure, especially one where the characters are forced to set aside their differences to work together toward a single goal.
From Sharon's list on middle-grade adventures with magical elements.
