Last Days of Summer

Thanks for starting the blog, Janelle! The book club selection this month is "Last Days of Summer" by Steve Kluger. It's set during world War II, and it's the story of the relationship between a 12-year-old boy living in Brooklyn, NY, and a superstar baseball player. The story is told through the letters they write back and forth to each other. I decided to start it while I ate my lunch today, and I quickly read the first 100 pages. In less than an hour. It's definitely a light and easy read (so far), and I was laughing out loud in some parts. So if you're feeling a little nervous about starting the book, my recommendation is to jump right in!
