Description
When you're the third of six kids, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle, but Sunday Fowler is determined that this summer she'll find the one thing that makes her stand out from her siblings.
And when she discovers a silver box in the basement of the library her parents are renovating, she might just have found something to gain her the attention she so craves. Inside is a series of letters addressed to "The Librarian" and a manuscript. But who wrote them? With the help of annoying neighbor-turned-new-friend Jude, Sunday is determined to track down the author. And when she unveils this novel to the world, she'll be famous!
But uncovering this manuscript means stirring up secrets that some people in the town hoped to keep buried. And Sunday must decide if some things -- loyalty, trust, friendship -- are worth more than her name in the headlines.

A SUMMER OF SUNDAYS is a really cute read. Sunday Fowler is one of six children - and she's smack dab in the middle. Not old enough to be in charge. Not young enough to get the baby. Do they even notice her half the time? After the Incident, she's determined to do something to stand out, to be remembered for.
When she finds an old manuscript and some letters in the library her parents are renovating, she thinks she might have found her path. All she has to do is figure out who the author is. Is it someone left in town? Is it the famous authoress who died years ago? She's determined to solve the mystery and make her mark on her the world.
The story is entertaining, with an even pace that I think will work for all readers. Unraveling the mystery is fun and enjoyable, especially with the people that she meets along the way.
I really liked the family dynamics - every family member seemed very different, and played a different role (which I imagine is challenging to do, when writing a family of eight + dog!). Sunday of course, feels she does more than she should - which I imagine is how any eleven year old feels.
I also enjoyed that there were some subtle references to other literature that older readers may get - this might make it a great read for a family to tackle together. Sunday is an avid reader - and her love of books just may rub off on you (or your children)!
