Product Description
When the army builds a German prisoner of war camp on the outskirts of a small Michigan town, citizens are outraged. Adding to the angst, two women assist a pair of POWs to escape -- and are tried for treason. History, fiction, and humor blend into a heart-warming story of life on the 1944 home front.

A mystery with Nazi spies, nasty POW's, & undercover moles May 18, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Cottonwood Summer documents author Gary Slaughter as a master at creating loveable characters and an engaging story-telling narrative style enriched with humor and originality. Cottonwood Summer is a mystery with Nazi spies, nasty POW's, undercover moles, small-town values, and Gold Star mothers who will never see their sons again. Irreverent, touching, and a reader involving story, Cottonwood Summer is one of those novels so easy to pick up and so hard to put down. And when it is finished, sends the reader to do an Amazon.com author name search in hopes of finding other stories by this undeniably talented writer.
WHEN'S THE MOVIE COMING OUT...? April 3, 2004
A timeless classic, though set against a World War 2 backdrop, this tale is a must read for anyone looking to disconnect from today's hectic pace and re-connect with a time when things were far less complicated. The lessons learned by the boys during the course of the novel, about themselves, friendship, and diversity to name a few apply as much today as they did when the story is set. A must read for the entire family, leaves you with just one question: when do we get to see this on screen?

A wonderfully readable tale of life in small town America in 1944. Filled with adventure, mystery, laugh-out-loud humor, memorable characters and heartfelt moments. Cottonwood Summer is a fun and entertaining read!

Why is Bill Cosby an excellent commedian? ... no filth! Why is Gary Slaughter an excellent story teller and author? ... no filth! Just plain ol' family values at its best.Hardy Boys have nothing on Danny and Jase. We can't wait for the next in the series. My kids turned off their video games for this. Bravo!
Cottonwood Summer brings back memories of my boyhood March 6, 2004
I had forgotten how the world looks through a 10 year old boy's eyes. Cottonwood Summer is a refreshing and entertaining book with a blend of mystery, humor and boyhood sleuthing. You will find yourself immersed in the lives of Jase and his best friend Danny as they go about their day to day adventures in small town America during the period of the end of WWII. If you like reading books saturated with swear words, you will miss them in this definitely "G" rated material. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel.
