![]() ![]() ![]() Its vibrant and, I have to say, fits with the book well. ![]() One of the reasons this book was brought to my attention was the cover. Told with sincerity and clever similes, Umbrella Summer is the best book Ive read that shows the aftermath of the death of a loved one in the most truthful way. When an old lady moves into the house across the street, Annie realizes that maybe, metaphorically, she could shut her umbrella just a smidgen. What if she got a scratch and it became infected? What if she got gangrene? Anything and everything can bring a sickness, deformity, or future medical problem. She wears a helmet when she is walking down the street, uses all of her allowance on Band-Aids, and isnt herself anymore. The summer after her brother died from a rare accident, Annie Richards is overprotective and far too careful in everything she does. ![]()
