Indian Summer Kindle Edition

The summer of 1974 is the worst ever! Jack Campbell is grounded from his favorite hangout, abandoned by his best friends, and bored out of his gourd. When a new family moves into the house in the woods, everything turns upside down and his small Pennsylvania farming community is torn apart. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends.
His summer takes an even more frightening turn when he awakens to find himself two hundred years in the past. He's in Colonial Lancaster County with no memory of how he got there. After being taken in by a generous Quaker family with two boys near his age, Jack is able to spend time with a local tribe called the Conestogas, the last remnants of the once mighty Susquehannocks. Following some shocking revelations, Jack is desperate to rewrite history and prevent an unspeakable tragedy. Can one person make a difference? His friend's life depends on it. Will he ever find his way back home?

"In Indian Summer, Kellyn McClarry weaves an enthralling story. I fell in love with young Jackson on page one. I laughed, gasped, wept, and rejoiced with him as his tale unfolded. The storyline is equal parts coming-of-age, little-known history, and timeless truth. While the characters make the book appropriate for pre-teens, boys in particular, the story transcends age. I’m far from my teen years, but Kellyn kept me turning pages and left me wondering what happens to the characters after the story wraps. Earlier in my Christian publishing career, I was involved with an update of the classic Sugar Creek Gang series. Kellyn’s story is every bit as engaging as those bestsellers. I hope to meet these characters in a sequel or two!" —Julie-Allyson Ieron, writing coach, editor, and author of 40 books including Don’t Let This Throw You!

“With infinite patience, McClarry lulls readers into assuming Indian Summer is simpler than it really is. This holds true for both the plot line and for the character of Jack. Her timing is diabolically impeccable—revealing plot twists and new depth to characters only after readers have entirely convinced themselves of the story’s trajectory. Don’t underestimate this debut novel. Kellyn McClarry cloaks a brilliant wit in the guise of this story about a seemingly hapless, impatient, utterly ordinary boy, thrust into extraordinary circumstances. But her inspirational streak does come through, shining all the more for the timing of it all.” —Sophia Alexander, award-winning author of Silk: Caroline's Story

This was beautifully written.
I could envision myself in every chapter. I found this story so beautiful, and inspirational, that I've shared it to both my grandson, and granddaughter, via their Tablets.

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2021
The amazing atmospheric prose and authentic characters are what initially drew me into this story. And after it was over I found myself wishing the story would still go on. I loved Jack and following him on his journey of self discovery. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2021
Beyond the historical perspective, I loved the depth Jack eventually displayed. Kellyn intrigues me with how she lulls readers into complacency so nearly completely before revealing that we've entirely misjudged the situations/characters. Wonderful writer!
