After overcoming so many difficulties, the ordinary people living on En-Somi might think that things would settle down at last, but life is rarely that simple. Wee Elin, who seemed likely to be the next bard and the first ever girl to have that role, becomes involved with the son of one of the wealthy elite. Can anything good come of this? And then the young teenager vanishes. Has she left the island? Is she even still alive? And will Marie be able to help her, if she is found? Through a hot and stormy summer, the folk of the little village of Hus speculate and worry. Only the old Bard, Olaf, becomes convinced that all will be well. Is it wishful thinking? Has he made a mistake, and is there another young one who will replace him when he goes? And what is going on at the old airport? Is it flooding because of rising sea levels, or is something else happening? Who owns that land, and why might anyone want to see it submerged? Hot, Hot Summer continues the tale of the folk that readers of the Lonely Island series have met before. You will not be able to put it down.
