"Twelve Stories for Summer" offers a baker's dozen of fictional but realistic short stories set in summer, when the weather is hot and we try to cram as much fun as possible into each day. It's for teenagers through senior citizens who could use a few minutes of relaxation. Short stories take far less time to read than a novel. If you're interrupted, you can pick up where you left off easily. Some of the stories take place at typical summer destinations like a state park, an amusement park, a baseball stadium, a public auction, a Fourth of July parade, an outdoor concert, a riding stable and an auto race. Others show people volunteering during a church mission trip and tornado relief efforts. One story features two college friends reminiscing over dinner. A bored boy at the beach is another subject. "Twelve Stories for Summer" is the third of four books in the "Two Good Feet" series, but all four books can be read individually and in any order.
