The Last Last-Day-of-Summer

The Last Last-Day-of-Summer
By Lamar Giles
Boston: Versify, 2019. Fiction.

It's the last day before school starts, which everyone knows is actually the last day of summer. Otto and Sheed -- a duo famous for their adventurous exploits in their normal-but-strange hometown --are debating which adventure to solve on their last day of freedom when the mysterious Mr. Flux appears. Otto and Sheed's wish for summer to never end is granted when they accidentally freeze time with Mr. Flux's odd camera. With everyone and everything in their town frozen, its up to the Legendary Alston Boys to set things right.

This is a wonderfully surreal science fiction novel for any reader who wishes that their normal life was a little less normal. Fry, Virginia - the new fictional town you wish you could visit - is an epicenter of peculiarity where completely fantastical events are as normal as being home on time for dinner. In his middle grade debut, Giles shows off his natural talent for writing plot, setting, and character. This is a hilarious and totally unique multi-dimensional adventure, just right for action/adventure readers.

Review: The Factory

The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages. Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits.
