- Leslie Gentile’s debut novel, Elvis, Me, and the Lemonade Stand Summer (2021), was published to great acclaim. Gentile won the City of Victoria Children’s Book Prize, the Jean Little First-Novel Award, and has been short-listed for ten other awards.
- The story weaves in important lessons on identity, fitting in, and different family structures.
- Set near Strathcona County, the book is rich with natural scenic beauty, highlighting the serious issue of forest fires as a blaze progresses to trap Halley, Leo, and her dad.
- Gentile showcases the hard reality that many people with food allergies face, providing both good and bad examples of how people deal with it. Halley’s dairy allergy is forgotten about, not taken seriously, and dismissed on many occasions with her father.
- Despite their rocky start, Halley and Leo’s enemies-to-friends relationship shows how their stark differences actually help one another grow throughout the book.
