# The Summer of June - Hardcover

by **Jamie Sumner** (Author)

**From the acclaimed author of _Tune It Out_ and _Roll with It_ comes a "needed, hopeful" (_Booklist_) middle grade book about a young girl who sets out to overcome her anxiety over the course of one life-changing summer.**

Twelve-year-old June Delancey is kicking summer off with a bang. She shaves her head and sets two goals: she will beat her anxiety and be the lion she knows she can be, instead of the mouse everyone sees. And she and her single mama will _own_ their power as fierce, independent females.

With the help of Homer Juarez, the poetry-citing soccer star who believes in June even when she doesn't believe in herself, she starts a secret library garden and hatches a plan to make her dreams come true. But when her anxiety becomes too much, everything begins to fall apart. It's going to take more than a haircut and some flowers to set things right. It's going to take courage and friends and watermelon pie. Forget second chances. This is the summer of new beginnings.
