The summer of 1960 was the hottest ever for Summit, Wisconsin. For kids seeking relief from the heat, there was a creek to be swum in, sprinklers to run through, and ice cream at Whitcomb's Drugstore. Frankie, Viv, and Biz, eleven-year-old best friends, had set forth to make their mark on the summer, with a to-do list in hand. But three patients escaped from Broadhurst Medical Institution-- and what the girls discover could cost all the girls hold dear. Six decade later, Bix remembers that long-ago summer. -- adapted from back cover.;"The summer of 1960 was the hottest ever for Summit, Wisconsin.
