Summary: Summer has lived with her aunt and uncle since she was six years old. When Aunt May dies  they are really sad. Especially her uncle and Summer is worried about him. Her uncle says he feels Aunt May around him sometimes. They set off in an adventure to find a sign from Aunt May.  

Reaction: This wasn't one of my favorite books. I didn't think it was very well written and was very confusing at times. It also moved very slow. 

Problem: Summer and Uncle Orb are very sad when Aunt May dies.  

Recommendation: I don't think that I would recommend this book. I know that it got a Newbery Award but I didn't enjoy this book at all.
