Book summary

Set in 1953 New Jersey, this 2007 Newbery Honor Book follows the tumultuous summer of 11-year-old Penny. Though she lives with her mother and their extended family, Penny loves spending time with her late father's affectionate Italian American family, and longs to know why there's so much tension between the two families. Though Penny had planned for a summer of swimming, running around with her cousin Frankie, and eating lots of ice cream, things take a dramatic turn when an accident changes everything. Italian American heritage, family history, and cultural history combine to create a moving story.
