“Summer Eleven” is a heartwarming story of summer beginning and eleven year old Vanessa wondering if she and her friends will be able to maintain their bond past elementary school. It becomes clear that even though the usual childhood pleasures of summer are there – ice cream trucks, backyard camping, impromptu yard soccer with boys (gasp!) – there is also the specter of terrible adult difficulties in their respective families. With grace, tears, laughter and some shock - (remember when you learned the facts of life?) – our four young heroines make their way through summer to the much dreaded, but inevitable, middle school.
