Summer of the Gypsy Moths, Harper Collins. The first stand-alone novel from Pennypacker since the blockbuster Clementine series, Summer of the Gypsy Moths is a poignant middle-grade novel about two foster children who, after a tragedy, must find a way to work together in order to survive. The New York Times Book Review compares Pennypacker to Beverly Cleary, and we are confident her new novel will appeal to fans of Sharon Creech, Katherine Paterson, and Kate DiCamillo and to any middle-school fans of heartfelt and funny stories of smart and resilient girls.
