Leighton's Summer takes place several years after The Mind's Eye. In the beginning, we get a glimpse of where Kit, Henri, Blod and the others are in their lives, but the real story involves Kit's younger brother, Leighton. Leighton is fifteen going on sixteen, a boy on the verge of becoming a man. The story takes place over the summer while he is living with his grandmother. Like many teenage boys, he gets in with the wrong crowd and spends a lot of time thinking about girls. Luckily, he meets his match in Faye, a feisty orphan. This story has it all - humor, suspense, good guys and bad buys, and some sweet young romance sprinkled in. I loved The Mind's Eye, and I equally loved Leighton's Summer. The story absolutely stands alone, but ends in a way that leaves me anticipating what comes next. I can't wait for the next book in this fabulous series.
