(All images and reviews uploaded from Red Cedar Book Award site)Shy Alexis and athletic Samantha meet on a plane heading from Vancouver to Toronto. Bookworm Alexis is terrified of horses but is being sent to a horse farm in Guelph for her summer vacation, while Samantha is being sent to stay with a friend of her grandmother’s who runs a secondhand bookstore in the same town. Samantha doesn’t like to read and can’t think of any place drearier to spend her summer. The girls start talking and discover that each would rather be doing what the other has in store for her, so they devise a daring plan to trade places.
Since neither of their hosts knows either of them they’re sure their plan can’t fail. The two 11-year-olds manage to get through most of the summer until an unexpected event exposes the deception.

Somebody else's summer is very touching. I believe that there is a message that the author is trying to pass across to us. That message is, that true friendship, isn't necessarily with your friend. It could totally be with an unknown stranger, or a stray cat that comes by your house for food. I recommend this book, and I've read many books, to EVERYONE who likes to read. It will touch your heart.
Is it a girly-girl book, or do you think boys will enjoy it too?
Boys will enjoy it too. Trust me
I really like this book. I thought it was really intresting. Once I picked it up and readed I co uldn't stop
Can you tell us a little bit about your favourite part in the story?
I couldn't put this book down!
Whenever my dad told me to go to bed I'd just say one more chapter, and I would read five more.
Whoever liked this book should read the other books by Jean Little.
