Commentary As Books The Forget-Me-Not Summer (Silver Sisters #1)
A delightful story for fans of The Penderwicks and One Crazy Summer, The Forget-Me-Not Summer is bursting with fun, sun, and sisterly love.Sisters Marigold, Zinnia, and Lily Silver can’t wait for summer vacation. Twelve-year-old Marigold is hoping to get her first kiss, while Zinnia, eleven, has plenty of time on her hands and will most likely spend it in Marigold’s shadow. And though five-year-old Lily may look like an angel, she has a knack for mischief.
But the sisters’ summer plans crumble when their parents send them to visit their aunt Sunny on Cape Cod. Small-town life is not what these L.A. girls had in mind, and they must adjust to sharing one room and living without a TV. Eventually, though, Aunt Sunny—along with her cheery attitude and delicious brownies—wins them over. Before they know it, the girls are cracking lobster shells at clambakes, making new friends, and even organizing a local talent show...all while learning how to band together as the strongest version of themselves: sisters.

I absolutely loved this book! It was a fun, girl-centered book that focused on the two main characters trying to figure who they are and who they want to be. It checked off all of my favorite story boxes--small beach towns, fish out of water experiences, first love, older wiser characters and happy endings. It also reminded me of another favorite series, The Penderwicks. There are two books more in the trilogy and I think I'll have to read them!I just finished reading an advanced copy of FMNS. Such a fan of this sweetness and fun. I really adored this book and know so many friends I could give this to for their daughters - it's not super violent or sexy (obviously, it's middle grade!) and it's so funny and thoughtful, too. The sibling rivalry, mostly between Zinnie and Marigold, was really on point. Their relationship felt real and based on sisters I know. I would definitely ask the writer if her characters were based on her own
6th to 7th grade level(middle school)This book was AWESOME!!!{VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENED} It was a great novel about sisters and how yet they can be a bother, they can also be one of your most treasured people. The Silver sisters go to Pruet to go visit their Aunt Sunny while their parents are doing work. They meet new people as each girl follows their dreams. The oldest, Marigold, wants to be an actor. The youngest, Lily, wants to be able to swim again(she is afraid of the ocean). The middle girl,
I happened to pick this up one winter at the library, mostly the cover was so summery!! I was pleasantly surprised at how cute it ended up being, albeit, somewhat far fetched for the life of the average 'tween'. I enjoyed the next two books in the series, but not so much as the first!!
I would rate this book a 5 because it is amazing! This book is about 3 sisters and how they have to adjust living together without their parents at Cape Cod with their Aunt Sunny. They have to adjust to their surrounding and make the best of what they can with this summer. It was fun watching them explore this new place, meet new people, and try new things. Reading this book made me wish I had a sister although the Silver sisters didnt always get along.
The Silver family lives a very posh life in Los Angeles, but their world is turned upside down when their parents' work schedule forces them to spend three weeks at their Aunt Sunny's in Pruet, Massachusetts. The timing isn't good for the eldest Silver sister, Marigold, because those years of acting classes have finally paid off. She just landed an agent and hopes to fulfill her dream of auditioning for the latest teen movie. Zinnia, the middle sister, lives in her sister's shadow and just wants
Well this book was adorable. Great family relationships, normal sibling feelings, tween drama that is REAL and not made up. All the characters stood out but I especially liked the two older sisters that the book centered on. Both sisters were different and unique and neither one was perfect but both were highly relatable and I can see readers identifying with one or both of them. The adults in here, the parents and Great Aunt were pretty great as well. Really good book. Would rec for fans of
