Summer time by Hilary Bell is a story of what a day in Summer might be like. It is Australian as it has lots of beaches, mangoes, mosquitoes, Neapolitan icecream, season passess to theme parks, and sausages on the BBQ.
There is something really quirky and very typically Australian summer school holidays for a kid in this book. Trying on school shoes always signified the end of summer holidays for me.
