SUMMER
Paige Classey
Twelve-year-old AnnaJane is
thrilled to be back at Camp Chester
—the one place she feels like she
belongs. But when townspeople
near camp start disappearing,
AnnaJane and her friends soon
realize they might be at camp well
beyond the summer…if they can
survive that long.
Camp is the one place where
AnnaJane can fully be herself.
But her usual routines are quickly
thrown off when her crush, a kid
from her school, is sitting across
from her at the bonfire. Romance
becomes the least of AnnaJane’s
worries, though, when the town at
the base of camp is abandoned
nearly overnight. What happens
when summer turns to fall, and
the campers must learn to fend
for themselves?

Claire Keane
A young girl spends the day
exploring the outdoors, and as
she does, she realizes that every
experience shapes who she is
meant to become

place in the world, the question,
“Who Are You?” becomes a mantra,
asked by the wide sky above and
the valley below. It echoes through
her adventures as she encounters
life’s simple natural treasures.
But everything isn’t sunshine and
butterflies. There are also unex-
pected challenges that help her
realize that every moment—light or
dark—is part of the journey that
will lead her to where she needs to
be. A whimsical picture book that
places value on who you are, not
