The Best Summer Guest

Tuula Pere

Description

When Jonty's parents go away, Jonty is a little uneasy about spending his summer vacation with Grandma Gladys. His grandmother is lots of fun, but Jonty knows he is going to miss his parents.

Spending time with Grandma Gladys turns out to be even more surprising than Jonty imagines. He meets the “Bun Angels,” watches for a scary pike that lives under the dock, and finds unusual treasures in Grandma’s old dresser. But Grandma’s birthday party turns out to be the best day of all.

J onty watches Mom pack a suitcase.
Why do Mom and Dad have to go away? Jonty thinks. Mom says she and Dad have a lot to talk about. But in Jonty’s opinion, they could do that at home too.
Mom sees Jonty watching her. “We’ll be back soon,” she says, smiling at him. “And you’ll have a lovely time with Grandma Gladys at her summer house.”
Jonty nods. It is always fun to stay with Grandma , he thinks.
He is still a little worried about the nights, though. That’s when he misses his parents the most. Luckily, Grandma always has fun ideas. She knows how to build a sleeping tent—with room for all ten of his sleep toys, too!
Mom gives Jonty a hug. “We’ll be back before you know it,” she says.
