The Summer of the Swans

The Summer of the Swans is by Betsy Byars. This is the realistic fiction story of a teen girl and her handicapped brother. Sarah takes her brother to the lake to see the swans. He looks out his window that night, sees something white, and attempts to find the swans on his own and gets lost. Sarah discovers her love for her brother, as well as some important things about herself and the importance of family. A fun and compelling read.

Ratings: 6th grade - 8 out of 10.
