Rainbow Summer
Simone 3

Is there a talent to falling in love?

It’s summer and Simone spends the hot summer days all alone. As she counts down the days until her friends come home from holiday, she meets old Uncle Harry
and her new neighbour, a boy named Aaron. Aaron is the coolest person Simone has ever met, and she gets a weird feeling inside when he smiles at her.

Leah wants Aaron to join her new disco dance group, which is training for this autumn’s big talent competition. But what does Aaron really want? Why does he love to listen to Elvis? And is it true that he had a girl’s name where he lived before?

Rainbow Summer is a warm and important book about friendship and infatuation, card tricks and music - and about daring to be who you are.
