Synopsis Summer Under the Stars by : Catherine Ferguson

Country girl Sadie has been swept off her feet by city trader Toby. They might only have known each other for a fortnight, but what a whirlwind it's been! With Toby's birthday on the horizon, Sadie decides it's her turn for romantic gestures and organises the ultimate getaway at her friend Clemmie's new glamping site. But Sadie didn't bargain for Toby hating all things outdoorsy - he screams at the sight of bugs and is more bothered about WiFi than walking. And when Toby isn't there for Sadie when she needs him most, she starts to question whether he really is the One. Will the lakeside bell tent be the relaxing getaway Sadie was hoping for? Or is this summer destined to end in disaster ...?

Synopsis The Stars of Summer by : Tara Dairman

“A scrumptious gem of a story!”—Jennifer A. Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author of The False Prince for All Four Stars In this charming sequel to All Four Stars, eleven-year-old foodie Gladys Gatsby now has her first published review under her belt and is looking forward to a quiet summer of cooking and reviewing. But her plans quickly go awry when her friend Charissa Bentley delivers Gladys’s birthday gift: a free summer at Camp Bentley. As Gladys feared, camp life is not easy: she struggles to pass her swim test and can’t keep the other campers happy while planning lunches. The worst part is she can’t seem to get away from the annoying new “celebrity” camper and sneak away for her latest assignment—finding the best hot dog in New York City. But when it turns out her hot dog assignment was a dirty trick by a jealous reviewer, Gladys’s reviewing career may be over forever.

Synopsis Grail of the Summer Stars by : Freda Warrington

"A painting, depicting haunting scenes of a ruined palace and a scarlet-haired goddess in front of a fiery city, arrives unheralded in an art gallery with a cryptic note saying, "The world needs to see this." The painting begins to change the lives of the woman who is the gallery's curator and that of an ancient man of the fey Aetherial folk who has mysteriously risen from the depths of the ocean. Neither human nor fairy knows how they are connected, but when the painting is stolen, both are compelled to discover the meaning behind the painting and the key it holds to their future. In a haunting, powerful tale of two worlds and those caught between, Freda Warrington weaves an exciting story of suspense, adventure and danger that fulfills the promise of the Aetherial Tales as only she can.

Synopsis Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine by : Alan P. Lightman

In this meditation on religion and science, Lightman explores the tension between our yearning for permanence and certainty, and the modern scientific discoveries that demonstrate the impermanent and uncertain nature of the world. As a physicist, he has always held a scientific view of the world. But one summer evening, while looking at the stars from a small boat at sea he was overcome by the sensation that he was merging with a grand and eternal unity, a hint of something absolute and immaterial. This is his exploration of these seemingly contradictory impulses, and the journey along the different paths of religion and science that become part of his quest. -- adapted from publisher info.
