Three Bird Summer
(Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
An introspective boy and an adventurous girl uncover a poignant family mystery during a summer on the shores of Three Bird Lake.
For as long as he can remember, Adam and his parents have spent their summers at his grandmother's rustic cabin on Three Bird Lake. But this year will be different. There will be no rowdy cousins running around tormenting Adam. There will be no Uncle John or Aunt Jean. And there'll be no Dad to fight with Mom. This year, the lake will belong just to Adam.
But then Adam meets Alice, the girl next door, who seems to want to become friends. Alice looks just like the aloof, popular girls back home—what could he and she possibly have in common?
Turns out, Alice isn't like the girls back home. She's frank, funny, and eager for adventure. And when Adam's grandma starts to leave strange notes in his room—notes that hint at a hidden treasure somewhere at the lake and a love from long ago—Alice is the one person he can rely on to help solve the mysteries of Three Bird Lake.

- bioText:
I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the youngest human member of a household that included two parents, three siblings, several college-age cousins, a grandmother, a dog, a cat, a mouse named Marshmallow, and a pair of gerbils named Simon and Garfunkel. Often feeling small and superfluous, I spent a lot of time disappearing into books, imagining my breakout adventures.
When I was six, I made a portrait of myself in the future with the caption: "I am going to be an author and illustrator." If you look closely, you can see that the grown-up me is drawing trees on a piece of paper that says, "The bear went in the woods." Somehow I seemed to know I'd end up writing a lot about animals and wild places. In fact, Three Bird Summer is set in the woods, and if you're an attentive reader, you'll even find a bear in it!
Three Things You Might Not Know About Me:
1. In high school, I won my track team's burping contest (though my official event was the mile).
2. I once hugged a cheetah. (Don't try this at home.)
3. According to family lore, I am distantly related to Blackbeard the Pirate. - name: Sara St. Antoine

An introspective boy and an adventurous girl uncover a poignant family mystery during a summer on the shores of Three Bird Lake.
For as long as he can remember, Adam and his parents have spent their summers at his grandmother's rustic cabin on Three Bird Lake. But this year will be different. There will be no rowdy cousins running around tormenting Adam. There will be no Uncle John or Aunt Jean. And there'll be no Dad to fight with Mom. This year, the lake will belong just to Adam.
But then Adam meets Alice, the girl next door, who seems to want to become friends. Alice looks just like the aloof, popular girls back home—what could he and she possibly have in common?
Turns out, Alice isn't like the girls back home. She's frank, funny, and eager for adventure. And when Adam's grandma starts to leave strange notes in his room—notes that hint at a hidden treasure somewhere at the lake and a love from long ago—Alice is the one person he can rely on to help solve the mysteries of Three Bird Lake.- gradeLevels
