Summer of Rocks
by Jenna Greene
Three sisters spend an adventure-filled summer in the Canadian wilderness, exploring rock quarries, escaping bear attacks, and fighting over space in the backseat of the family pickup truck. It’s the summer of 1990, and Amy (age 11), Beth (age 9), and Marion (age 6) are in for the family vacation of a lifetime. No, they’re not going Disneyland, Hawaii, or on a Caribbean cruise. No, they’re not flying to Germany to collect pieces of the Berlin Wall. They will be looking at rocks, though. Lots of rocks. So many rocks. You see, when your father is a geologist, that’s what you do on your summer vacation. You drive for days to the British Columbia–Yukon border, strapped in the backseat of the family truck with your sisters, fighting over the Gameboy, listening to your parents tell you “fascinating” facts about the scenery, playing the Little Mermaid soundtrack on a loop, and trying not to get elbowed in the face. Doesn’t that sound like a dream vacation? Well, it’s no luxury trip, but it has its highlights—from camping under the stars to wading in natural hot springs to flying a helicopter! And for Amy, Beth, and Marion, the memories they make along the way will last a lifetime. At least that’s what their parents tell them

Sarah Ponakey, Storycatcher and Maskwa's Tipi Tales
by Sita Macmillan
Continue to celebrate Cree culture and being true to yourself in the second book in this vibrant new early chapter book series! Sarah has spent the best summer visiting Kohkom and her best friend Eden in her home community, but it's almost time to return to the city and back to school. Eden has been acting odd and distant the past few days, and Sarah can't quite figure out why: when she finds a tipi surprise in Kohkom's backyard that Eden has been keeping a secret, Sarah figures that must be the reason! But as the girls prepare for one last sleepover of the summer, Sarah continues to feel butterflies growing in her tummy when she hears Eden speaking Cree. Eden knows so much more about the language and their culture than Sarah; could that be what's creating distance between them? As the night goes on, a magical visit from Muskwa reminds the girls that their differences and their culture is what makes their friendship so special. Sita MacMillan continues to explore topsy-turvy feelings of growing up as a young Indigenous person living away from their community, with magical illustrations from Azby Whitecalf that transport the reader into the forest once again with Sarah Ponakey.

And why is she the only one who thinks eating 21 Brussels sprouts at once is yummy? Life's confusing questions are making Edie wonder if she really know who she really is. Will Edie realise it's okay not to have all the answer all of the time... and just be Edie?
