Summer is one of August's closest friends at school. She sits with him on the first day of school because she felt bad seeing August eating alone, but she soon discovers that he's fun. She especially likes him because he still likes to play foursquare and other kid-appropriate games, rather than "hang out" and talk about dating and crushes like her other, more mature classmates. Though Summer treasures her friendship with August, she also experiences some desire to be popular. She's thrilled and nervous to get an invitation to Savanna's Halloween party, as Savanna is extremely popular. However, she soon realizes that the party is an attempt to pull her into the fold of popular kids and encourage her to drop August, something Summer refuses to do.

August: Wake Me Up When September Ends
Quotes
Hey, the truth is, if a Wookiee started going to the school all of a sudden, I'd be curious, I'd probably stare a bit! And if I was walking with Jack or Summer, I'd probably whisper to them: Hey, there's the Wookiee. And if the Wookiee caught me saying that, he'd know I wasn't trying to be mean.

Summer: The Plague
Quotes
How I found out about this is that Maya Markowitz told me that the reason she won't play Four Square with us at recess is that she doesn't want to catch the Plague. I was like, "What's the Plague?" And she told me. I told Maya I thought it was really dumb and she agreed, but she still wouldn't touch a ball that August just touched, not if she could help it.
