Summer vacation is around the corner! What kind of adventures did you go on or will be going on? For Bina, her Summer isn’t gonna be spent doing the Summer Fun Index with her best friend Austin like the past few years. Nope, this Summer is gonna suck because she won’t have Austin this summer. :(

We’ve all experienced these—not having your best friend to hang out with, not being able to go to summer camp like your friend, feeling disconnected from your friends, doing things you didn’t expect to do and befriending unexpected people. This is everything that Bina faces during her summer. She thought that her summer would be like any other—with Austin. She feels lost without him. What is she supposed to do?

In her summer without her best friend, she watches a lot of TV shows, befriends the most unexpected and formerly scary person, rocks out to her favorite bands and new ones, meets new family member.

Hope Larson portrays these vivid scenes of what everybody can expect of their summer when they’re a kid. All Summer Long explores the summer adventures of a girl who has to make due without her best friend and have some fun.
