An epic middle-grade memoir about sisterhood and prejudice in the three years leading up to the Bosnian genocide—for fans of true stories bursting with heart.
Three Summers is the story of five young cousins who grow closer than sisters as ethnic tensions escalate over three summers in 1980s Bosnia. They navigate the joys and pitfalls of adolescence on their family’s little island in the middle of the Una River. When finally confronted with the harsh truths of the adult world around them, their bond gives them the resilience to discover and hold fast to their true selves.
With incredible warmth and tenderness, Amra Sabic-El-Rayess takes readers on a journey that will break their hearts and put them back together again. This is perfect for fans of other true stories for middle graders, like Hey, Kiddo; Free Lunch; and When Stars Are Scattered.
