“Galante deftly weaves together the parallel stories of May and her teacher, while demonstrating how it’s their work together...that changes them both.” --Kirkus“Brimming with emotion and insight into adolescent rage, Galante's prose investigates the impact of loss and the importance of making amends.” --Publishers Weekly“One of the most absorbing novels I've read in a long time. Galante masterfully chips away at May's tough exterior, revealing a girl who charms the reader with her humor and her razor-sharp sensibilities. Touching, funny, and thoroughly captivating, Galante is a writer to be reckoned with.” --Ellen Potter, author of the Olivia Kidney series and The Kneebone Boy“What's so great about [The Summer of May]? Well, everything...If you want your child to read something with some heart, make sure you pick this book up for her.” --GirlswithBooks.com I volunteer with children's reading program. We went to the library and I just pick this book based on the cover pic and the summary. I didnt finish it that afternoon. The little bit that I read, made we want to borrow it on my own. I NEEDED to know how May's summer turned out :)This book was really interesting. Its a young adult book, but really well written. This is definitely a relatable story for urban/city teens.
