Picked up to release.

I'm not into the sort of book club that has assigned reading, but the mystery aspect of this one was fun.

The books the girls read over the summer are:

The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert O'Brien
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor
The Summer of the Swans by Betsy Byars
and
Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield

So far, I've only read the three Newbery winners...but I did find Understood Betsy at Project Gutenberg, so I may be reading that one soon. :)

Also mentioned in the text is Enright's Thimble Summer.

Oh, and this is set in Massachusetts, so I'll count it as book # 6/51 for NancyNova's 2015 MultiYear States Challenge.

6/51 read so far for this challenge:
HI | LA | MA | NY | PA | WV

Left near Scott Pool for Secretariat's 2015 Never Judge a Book By Its Cover Challenge (week 4).
