My Summer of Pink & Green by Lisa Greenwald


Greenwald's sequel to My Life in Pink & Green is a great, light, charming summer read for middle school chicks. We meet our spunky protagonist Lucy once again, only this time she experiences  a few challenges while trying to stay afloat working at her family's spa. Lucy is used to things running smoothly. Her sister is returning from college and she has plans to hang out at the beach this summer with her sibling, her best friend Sunny, and Lucy's love interest Yamir. The group however has other plans, and Lucy has to figure out how to keep things light and happy while experiencing changes that life so often brings. She also has to balance out a new friendship with the spa investor's irritating daughter and the new spa coodinator Anais, who treats Lucy like just another kid. Can Lucy get it all together in time for the spa's grand opening?
