The Unforgettable Summer

Darcy has just graduated from 6th grade. Her friends, Chip, Mandy, and April just can't believe that now they are going to junior high. They are all excited except Darcy. She is afriad that they won't get to see each other a lot and won't have the same classes together. Darcy goes to a family summer camp with her church and friends. She thinks everything will be great because she will get to be with her friends a lot before they start middle school. She later finds out that she has to saty with her family in a cabin and not with her friends. Things a camp turn out different. Darcy gets left out of games and fun activities because she is paralized. Little did she know that God was always with her and would do incredible things at camp to show her a difference in being her.I liked this book because it talked about what happened after 6th grade. It taught me about friendship and more about God. A quote I liked was,"God knows, Darcry. He cares about those who can't do things like everyone else." I also liked the quote Darcy said,"God had remembered me. He had not left me or foresaken me. And tomorrow i decided would be an adventure." My least favorite part of this book was when Darcy was left out of the activities. Because she was paralized, she could'nt do as many things as the other kids can. She was left out of a hike and swimming. Later, Darcy and everyone was happy that they got to participate in a play.
