Stian Hole's Garmann's Summer is a melancholy ode to the final summer of a little boy's life before he begins attending school. Garmann has played by himself in the garden, swam in the ocean, visited with his elderly aunts, and dwelled on his anxiety. Hole's illustrations are a combination of photos in collage mixed with other graphics that create a semi-nostalgic feel to Garmann's world. In many ways this is an odd book, but then it's an English translation of a Norwegian kids' book. That's where they eat lutefisk.
