Secrets of the Cicada Summer

"Expertly constructed, tense, and very moving… this is compelling fiction that will be a hit with young readers, as rich and thought-provoking and yet as accessible as DiCamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie." -The Horn Book

"One part memory, one part mystery, and a generous dose of atmosphere make this the kind of satisfying read that Summer Reading is all about." -School Library Journal

"Written with clarity and fine attention to craft, this accessible novel reveals the secret in Lily's past just as she reaches out to solve the mystery that shadows Tinny's present." -Booklist
