The discombobulated life of Summer Rain - Julie Lamb

Making people laugh is what Summer does best. It’s how she fits in. And is it any wonder with a family like hers? Top of the list of crazies is Pop, her stingy grandfather, who whips up possum stews, and turns chicken scraps into the worst school lunches ever.

So why does Juanita suddenly want to be her friend? Juanita’s not her type, she has real sandwiches in her lunchbox, and does nice things like saving greyhounds and sticking up for people. 

And then Pop get himself a dangerous girlfriend with a mysterious past. Summer has to do something. Apple works in the crystal shop and knows a thing or talk about love potions – can she brew an un-love potion?

Juanita’s keen to help. But what if she discovers all the other embarrassing stuff – what if she finds out… everything?
