In 'Last Summer with Maizon', eleven-year-old Margaret faces inevitable changes. During the summer, her father passes away from a heart attack, and her best friend, Maizon, is accepted into an expensive private school far from home. For the first time, Margaret must turn to someone who isn't Maizon, someone who doesn't know her dreams or her heart. This touching story explores themes of friendship, loss, and self-discovery through the eyes of a young girl learning to navigate life without her closest confidante.
