The Summer My Father Was Ten by Pat Brisson
4.0
Personal narrative. A girl hears her father tell the same story every year - the story of a mistake he made as a child. When he was ten, he did something to his neighbor's garden. Something he was ashamed of but not sure how to fix.
This is a powerful story of a lesson learned, of multi-generational and multi-cultural understanding, told through flashbacks. Much to discuss here for upper elementary students about point of view and plotting.
