Tiny Town: Summer's Song

I knew Miss Meads filled her stories with half-truths twisted to entice the listener. But another part of me wanted to believe the stories because that would mean there was some other person out there who was a bigger misfit than I was. I needed Karen Anderson to be horrible.

It is 1974 in Tiny Town, Kansas, and twelve-year-old Katie is fed up with being an outcast. Overweight and unattractive, she has been nicknamed Queen Kong by her classmates. As summer begins, Katie starts a journey of self-discovery and befriends the town hermit, Karen Anderson. Through her father's ministry and her mother's wisdom, Katie comes to respect the individuality of others and herself.

But Katie soon finds herself involved in events surrounding the mysterious death of the town's pretty boy, Pebble Hudson. Pebble's burial splits Tiny Town and leads to an epic event that will change the town-and Katie-forever.

Filled with colorful characters and the heartwarming details of everyday life, Tiny Town: Summer's Song takes you back to a simpler time and shares the coming-of-age story of one courageous little girl.
