This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and with your help, they can even write home to say what they've been doing! (You may remain anonymous if you wish.)

Small ex-library hardcover with dust jacket.

The year Summer is 12, it's a bad luck year for her family. She gets malaria. Her parents go to Japan, leaving Summer & her younger brother Jaz with their grandparents. Jaz seems to have become invisible to most people. And Obaachan's back starts acting up, just before harvest season, when she works as a cook while Jiichan drives a combine.
 
Here's another copy on my BookCrossing shelf.
