NZ Writer Julie Lamb The Discombobulated Life of Summer Rain
Submarine (an imprint of Makaro Press) 2016 $25.00pb 245pp
ISBN
Themes: Friendship/ Funny stories/ Rural life/ Wairarapa New Zealand
Surely no one else would have to endure the
terrible school lunches prepared by their grandfather as Summer does – possum and chicken scraps? But Summer is a girl with imagination and spirit and
tells this story of life amongst an appealing set of crazies with laugh-out-loud candour. It is a story set against the
very recognisable backdrop of the Wairarapa. This is the first book from this
writer and I think would make a great read aloud - for girls AND boys.
I enjoyed this so much (one of those read-at-a-sitting
books to be ‘consumed’ the moment it comes out of its packaging ) that I am
already waiting anxiously for her next title to appear.
Year 5 up/ Age 9 up
