CATALINA SUMMER is a delightfully true and entertaining novel with riveting Huckleberry experiences. Gil offers a definitive portrait of a summer spent on the island. Lefebvre not only chronicles his remarkable summer but he also sheds light on themes of self testing, goal setting, and moral development. His true-life immersion in the island’s history enriches his storytelling.
Benny and Virginia Lefebvre had an idea to get their boys off the streets of Los Angeles: Start the Catalina Baseball Camp in Catalina’s remote Isthmus.
It became so popular in the ‘50s and ‘60s that thousands of boys experienced the best summers of their lives there. From its alumni came prominent athletes, businessmen and movie personalities. This is the true story of the Lefebvre’s’ youngest son Gil and his last summer at the camp. Along with his best friends
Tuck and Ross and a cast of local legends, in this wondrous, exotic and historic setting they became their own Huckleberries. They were imaginative, mischievous, roaring fun rascals and by some accounts irreverent, which blended well in that extravagant setting.
