Ray Bradbury
The summer of '28 was a vintag season for a growing boy. A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns, and new sneakers. Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of Grandma's belly-busting dinner. It was a summer of sorrows and marvels and gold-fuzzed bees. A magical, timeless summer in the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Douglas Spaulding--remembered forever by the incomparable Ray Bradbury. "Bradbury is an authentic original." -- "Time"

"Perfect book for quarantine. You’ll be transported directly into the loveliest of summer memories. "
Enoch Dorsey
"Beautifully nostalgic imagery, transportive storytelling, and a bittersweet innocence fading into the unavoidable maturation of thought. These fascinating small town characters will make an impression on your heart and mind if you let them; particularly if you give yourself up to the thoughts of the satisfyingly insightful protagonist. An incredible insight into the author's philosophical mind and truly unique imagination. Now it only I could bring myself to read the sequel... "
