Junie misses her sister and their summers together before Anna got sick. When Junies mum and dad leave her at Nan and Pops house for the summer, they promise theyll be back to get her the minute Annas well enough. Then they hand her Annas camera with a note that reads, In case you find Edmund. Junie spends her days floating in the lake, fishing with Pop and taking lots of pictures though none of Edmund, the elusive giant turtle. Edmund will have to wait, just like Junies waiting, until Junie finally gets to see her sister again. A heartfelt tribute to the love between siblings, certain to resonate with any child missing the people they love.

4 ⭐This book is sad but hopeful. Our main character is sent to spend the summer with her grandparents. We know that Anna is sick, which is why Anna is not there. This is about how you spend time waiting and wondering. This book does have a happy ending where Anna comes back. I do think that‘s lovely and it‘s a great way to talk about issues when a sibling is sick. Not a good one if a sibling dies, but a good one to read when there is an illness.
