Dunas (Diary of Another Summer)

Two years have passed since Duna began writing her diary. Now fourteen, she understands herself better—and perhaps the world around her, too. Her friendship with Max has matured, and the feelings between them are beginning to complicate in new and unexpected ways.
At home, changes run deep: her mother is inseparable from Manuel, who also has a young son that will be moving in with them. Meanwhile, Grandpa Ignacio… has fallen in love!
As if all this weren’t enough, the very soul of their village is in grave danger: a development company wants to forever alter the beautiful landscape of Dunas. Faced with this threat, the gang will have much to say… and even more to do.
Dunas is not a mere sequel, but a story with its own spirit. Those who read the first diary will find rewarding nods to it within these pages. In this new story, Duna discovers that growing up means glimpsing the complexity of the world—but also that the attitude she chooses toward life can make all the difference between what happens to us… and how we live through it.
