Until Olivander finds a wand that works for me, the only magic I have for transporting us to that place is through the magic of books! All my fellow blog hoppers are here to help you beat those winter blues with some scrumptious summer reads.
This is one from my personal To-Be-Read list: On the Line by Jackie Nastri Bardenwerper. Here's the synopsis taken from Amazon.
Check out all the fantastic blogs on the Summer Giveaway Hop!
Sixteen-year-old Piper Wesley has always been better at hooking fish than guys. But with her best friend Benny by her side, she’s never minded. And besides, her fishing skills have made her a celebrity in her hometown of Islamorada, an island paradise in the Florida Keys.
So when a slump in tourism threatens to sink her family’s fishing charter business, Piper recruits Benny to help her win a major fishing tournament and the $25,000 grand prize.
It seems like a perfect plan. Put her skills to use, win some money and help her parents weather the storm.
Except that now Benny cares more about hanging out with his girlfriend Marina than helping Piper. And he keeps disappearing, usually after something suspicious happens on the island. Add in Logan, a Michigan transplant with a growing interest in something other than Piper’s fishing, and it looks like practicing for the tournament will be anything but easy.
Leaving Piper to wonder how she'll win. And who will be there when it’s over.
But WAIT.. That's not all! I'm also throwing in my hit debut novel, The Homeschoolers: The Ballad of Squirtina, which is a whole different kind of summer novel about some spirited goofballs having one hell of a roller coaster of a summer. (That's all I'm going to say! I don't want to spoil the twists and turns along the way. But the only way you don't laugh out loud while reading this is if you have no pulse!)
Thank you for this giveaway!

I'm right there with you! I love the summer, and can't stand the cold weather. I am missing Florida like crazy right now, and it's not even December. Nooooo...
ReplyDelete'On the Line' sounds cute. And it's set in Florida. Good grief, I'm so easy to please.
Well, let's have a toast with some hot cocoa. To a short winter and long summer! Hear, hear!
Thanks, Nuzaifa! And Nickie, I'll toast to that!
