Florence Migga
The Summer Scrap Book
Ava, Becca, and Cat have always been inseparable. But the summer after eighth grade, they’re forced to spend two months apart.
Outgoing Ava is dragged to London by her family.
Anxious Becca is sent to summer camp.
Quiet Cat is left at home.
Phones aren’t allowed at Becca’s camp, and Ava’s parents restrict her use of devices, so to make the separation bearable, they vow to collect materials for a joint scrapbook that they’ll compile at the end of the summer. But as they work on their separate parts of the scrapbook, they step out of their comfort zones—and out of the roles they each play in the trio.
Who is Ava when she’s not the leader?
Who is Becca when she’s not the peacekeeper?
Who is Cat without the other two to keep her busy?
Can their friendship survive this summer of growth and change?
