Song for a Summer Night
Song for a Summer Night
Song for a Summer Night
Mark Dennis
When the woodland surrounding Peter's house goes silent one night, troubled thoughts and dreams take hold. No more chirping. No croaking. No buzzing. Not even a cricket. Can there be anything more upsetting than a misplaced sound? Some say the entire growing season may be brought to an equally sudden end. Peter Phye and his only friend, Dillon Hopper, strike out on a mission for the Queen of the Night. Together they begin a quest to restore the music, across the Sea of Queen Anne's Lace to the Deepest Forest, filled with ogres and bugaboos and all the foulest imaginable things, so that when they're done they might set things right again. And when it is done, Peter finds that adventures, just like seasons of green grass and blue skies, are only fleeting. But what he never imagined was he'd find an eternity within that passing moment . . .

Peter is usually a carefree outgoing guy, so when Peter starts getting worried and troubled, you know something's wrong. He wants to know why there is silence, just silence. That's all there is, the sound of no buzzing, no shrieking, no risick from the crickets. Peter and his new friend Dillon go on a long journey with the mission to set the sounds of the world back to normal. With the night full of any abnormal, out of this world creatures you could ever imagine. Will the Queen of night grant him help with his wish? Will there forever be just silence...?
