The Summer I Got a Life

The Summer I Got a Life
by Mark Fink
WestSide Books, 2009. 196 pgs. Young Adult

Andy Crenshaw is supposed to go to Hawaii on his summer vacation, but when his dad gets a promotion, Andy and his older brother Brad get shipped off to Wisconsin instead. Neither boy is excited about staying with their eccentric aunt and uncle in the middle of nowhere. When Andy meets a good-looking, talented, amazing girl, who happens to be in a wheelchair, he's a little surprised, but as he gets to know Laura, he finds this vacation is way better than he anticipated.
This book is a quick, fun read about first love and growing up. There are some very comical moments. There's a little bit of language, but it's really a fun book.
