Description
Twelve-year-old Clara lives on an island where the ordinary is the norm. She loves eating ripe mangoes off the ground, running outside in the rainy season, and visiting her secret hideout. However, her life is currently marked by a missing summer: a hurricane hit last year, and Clara's memories of it are hazy. Her mother fills in the gaps, but sometimes things come back to her in fragments. When Clara meets Rudy, a newcomer from England, her memories start to return, and the pair embark on a summer that will be unforgettable. As Clara's memories resurface, she begins to see her island in a new light. The familiar becomes extraordinary, and the ordinary becomes a world of possibility. With Rudy by her side, Clara discovers that sometimes the things we can't remember are the things that make life truly special. This book is a heartwarming and engaging story about friendship, memory, and the power of new experiences.
