“From the wonderful mind that brought us the Moomin series, The Summer Book is a novel that is more mature than the Moomins but no less of a treat. A six-year-old girl, Sophia, and her grandmother, spend the summer together on a remote island in Finland. As the summer weather prompts Sophia to discover the joys of sleeping outdoors and collecting insects, it also prompts her grandmother to make discoveries of her own as she nears the end of her life. A real gem of a book.”—Owen, Ravenna Third Place, Seattle. Buy The Summer Book from Third Place.
