The Summer Experiment Cathie Pelletier Books

I was afraid this story might be too simplistic for my taste, because it was told from a young kid's point of view. But I was pleased to discover that the story contained enough intrigueing material to keep my interest.

Although, I must admit, the story was, indeed, somewhat simplistic, the 12-year-old main character was very intelligent. And the events that transpired were interesting enough, especially the abduction. The abduction was very well done, and it was very easy to suspend disbelief. It didn't feel ridiculous at all. And it raised some very interesting ideas.

In any case, being from Northern Maine myself, I enjoyed the elements associated with Northern Maine- namely the woods, the trails, the caves and even the bugs.

This was a nice little story. And it left me wanting more.

The Summer Experiment Cathie Pelletier Books Reviews

Roberta is an 11 year-old girl living in rural Maine. She’s a straight-A student who’s locked in neverending academic combat with Henry Horton Harris Helmsby, who always manages to take the top prize at the science fair. She and her best friend Marilee plan to spend the summer hanging out together and talking about their crushes, when UFO sightings crop up in the area. She researches the Allagash alien abductions of 1976 – practically in her backyard – and decides that she wants to document the experience of her own alien abduction – with poor Marilee along for the ride – for an award-winning science project! She has to figure out how to contact that aliens, but just leave that to her.

The Summer Experiment is a book that has all the “lazy summer story” details – two best friends, an antagonist older brother, a loving family, with a pinch of drama – that also happens to include UFO sightings. It’s an interesting twist that readers may get a kick out of, and hopefully be spurred to read up more on the real-life Allagash alien abduction stories (the book includes resources for further reading). There is a positive female role model – Roberta – and a few realistic family crises that keep the book with one foot in reality, one in fantasy.
Love Cathie Pelletier. Always a great read and the characters become like family.
A-OK
I hope that CathiePelletier keeps on writing. I laugh and I cry with the stories that she writes. Keep up the good work.
Funny, wonderful story of a family durng the summer months. The children think they see a flying saucer and the fun and fear is felt throughout the story.
I have read everything Cathie Pelletier has written, so why not read this. Kept me interested even though it was written for a young age. Sent it to my grand daughter and she loved it also.
Outstanding character development. You will love the protagonist. Written with excellent description of place as well. Enjoyed it immensely.
