Chronicle Toward Books Butterfly Summer
Some secrets last a lifetime. When Becky and her mum move to the tiny village of Oakbridge, Mum is hoping for a new beginning. But when Becky discovers an old photo of her mum in hospital clutching a baby, twelve years before Becky was born, Becky becomes haunted by the thought that her mum is keeping something from her. Stifled by her mum's over-protectiveness and depressive moods, Becky feels more alone than ever. The only place she finds comfort is at the beautiful local Butterfly Garden with her new friend, the wild-spirited and impulsive Rosa May. But Becky can't shake off the unanswered questions. Why can't she swim? Where is her dad? Who is the baby in the photo? And why is her mum lying to her? As the two girls spend more time together however, Rosa May's unpredictable temper and possessive streak suggests that she is hiding something as well...and in the heat of the sun-drenched summer, it seems that Becky is the only one in the dark.Declare Books During Butterfly Summer

"And do you know what the Ancient Greeks used to believe? That butterflies represent the souls of the dead." "There's a story about the Silver-studded Blue. I don't know if you'd call it a rumour or an old wives' tale.Some people say it's an ancient myth.""What is it? What do they say?""They say that if you spot the first Silver-studded Blue of the summer then the person you love the most is on their way to see you. But.....if it lands on your shoulder, then that person has come to say goodbyei believe if I had read this book 10 years ago I would have found it awesome, but its not 10 years ago so I found it okay. it is def one of those books that would be good for young girls just going into teens
The magical moment as I bought this book at the store was definitely NOT a mistake!This was the first book I read by Anne-Marie Conway and it wasn't the last!!! This book was outstanding and not only did I never want the story to end I re-read this so many times I can't even count! When Becky wants to find out about her past, maybe it's not all she really wants it to be. Rosa May has a haunting feel about her and... IT IS SUCH A GREAT BOOK!!!!😱😱😱
Quite predictable, really, but then I might be too old for this kind of litterature... Really nice teen or child read though. I would have loved this book if I had read it when I was a child.
I do not read YA at all .. there are plenty of books aimed at grown ups, and reading about teenage angst is not how I usually spend my time .. However, the title of this book grabbed me and I was intrigued by what I would find between the covers .. Well, a Butterfly Garden, so what was not to like .. This sensitively told tale of Becky, a 12 year old, who is forced to cope with adult problems - her relationship with her Mum, who has just moved them back to the Village she grew up in, whilst she
Actual rating: 3.5I picked this book up on a whim purely based on the cover but I wasn't pleasantly surprised. It is quite a short book and I got through it very quickly. It follows Becky and her mum who move back to Oakbridge after her mum gets a new job. Her mum seems to have a lot of secrets and Becky struggles with this but she makes a friend at the Butterfly Garden but everything is not what it seems.I did think that the story was quite predictable and I guessed the way that the story was
The book was AMAZING and I like how it got everyone thinking .. It was just secrets secrets secrets and them BOOM information it's was soooo good and that's coming from someone who never reads ( me ) and this time I couldn't put the book down ... I think there should be a number 2 where it carries on and she meets her dad and becomes closer with mack but overall a TRUELY AMAZING book x
