Summer Jackson: Grown Up
Meet Summer Jackson, a charming, smart, irresistible character who will appeal to fans of Fancy Nancy, Olivia, and Eloise.
Summer Jackson is six years old, and she’s tired of being treated like a little kid. Now it’s time to be all grown up, just like Mom and Dad. With cell phone in hand, a long to-do list, and lots of urgent meetings to hold, Summer sets out to be a businesswoman – especially at recess.
But what happens when Mom and Dad agree that Summer’s ready to be an adult (eating her steak rare, doing the dishes, and taking just as much ice cream as she wants) – and that they’re the little kids? Suddenly, being the grown up doesn’t seem quite as much fun as Summer had imagined. Teresa E. Harris and AG Ford’s hilarious story shows that being a kid might not be so bad after all!
