Summer of the Gypsy Moths by Sara Pennypacker is a great book. It is about two girls Stella and Angel, and their gaurdian Lousise who dwelt in Cape Cod. In the beginning of the book the girls hate eachother but gradually become best friends because Lousie dies unexpectedly. The girls don't tell the police and have to take care of themseves and cover up for their missing guardian.
This book fills you with emotions and is very intersting. Stella and Angel's backgrounds are realistic yet their circumstances are unlikely. It is a terrific book.
This is a nice chapter book that elementary school aged girls will love. It is not filled with super difficult vocabulary but is interesting enough for fifth graders making it a great one for struggling readers.
