When my teacher assigned this book to my class, I thought it would be boring and depressing. Boy was I wrong! It is the stoy of a teenage girl who learns more about herself and her feelings when her mentally ill brother wanders away one night. This book gave me so much to think about! It is a definite must-read!!!!!

This a great book,a story of saddness,love and triumph.It tells about a 14 year old girl named Sarah, who has a brother who has a brain disorder. One day her brother runs away, and it's then when Sarah realizes how much she realy loves her brother..........

This is a great book! It's probably my favorite book I have ever read! I highly recommened it!

When I was in 4th grade about 11 yrs ago every Friday all 3 4th grade classes would gather in one classroom at the end of the day and watch a movie. One Friday we saw one called "Sarah & The Summer Swans" ( I didn't know it was a book then!) In the movie, Sarah is this average, awkward gal with a mouth full of braces. She thinks she is going to have a dull summer, but then her brother wanders off one night, and that was when one of the 4th grade teachers stopped the film and told us it was time to go home: we were out of time! I was in suspense, and disappointed that he didn't check out the film again so we could see the rest of it. Then 2 years later I was in the library at school and I was bored cause I knew my library really well and had read most of the fiction books, then I saw the book! I knew upon seeing the title and reading the summary that this was it! It was excellent!
