The Summer Book

On a pristine island in the Gulf of Finland, six-year-old Sophia is awakening
to life, while her wise yet cranky grandmother is contemplating its end. This
unlikely duo becomes each other's perfect companions for a season of
unforgettable adventures.

From crafting boats out of bark to creating their own miniature Venice, they
explore their island world with youthful curiosity and aged wisdom. Along the
way, they tackle the universal questions that captivate young and old: What is
life and death? What is the nature of love and God?

In this enchanting tale, Jansson crafts a world that is a microcosm of life's
joys and sorrows, making "The Summer Book" a season you'll never want to end.
