When I began to list the books that evoke summer for me, I was surprised at how many there are.

Dandelion Cottage by Carroll Watson Rankin is a local favorite That Wild Berries Should Grow by Gloria Whelan Interstellar Pig by William Sleator Learning to Swim: A Memoir by Ann Turner Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen When Zachary Beaver Came to Town by Kimberly Willis Holt Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo (perfection) Rules of the Road by Joan Bauer A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnally (a favorite) Canning Season by Polly Horvath (another favorite) Harris and Me by Gary Paulsen Chasing Redbird by Sharon Creech Birthday Room by Kevin Henkes Cuckoo's Child by Suzanne Freeman

Two poetry books: Toasting Marshmallows: Camping Poems by Kristine O'Connell George Summersaults by Douglas Florian

And that perfect description of August, the first paragraph in the prologue of Tuck Everlasting!
