A revelation about how Dash may or may not have spent the summer before raises the stakes even higher in this second installment of the eerie and enthralling Black Sand Beach series, perfect for fans of Gravity Falls, Rickety Stich, and Fake Blood.
Dash and his crew might have stumbled upon the source of the evil at Black Sand Beach when they stumbled into the abandoned and haunted lighthouse, but when Lily reveals that she found Dash's journal there, the news is anything but comforting. The book is full of Dash's reflections on his trip to Black Sand Beach the previous summer.
Only Dash doesn't recognize the journal or have any memory of being there.
As the friends read the entries aloud, through flashbacks Dash's unsettling encounter with two ghost girls, a truly terrifying monster, and a life changing event make one thing very clear: Black Sand Beach isn't done with them yet.
Deliciously creepy and difficult to put down, Do You Remember the Summer Before? returns readers to a supernatural shore they'll never forget.

      A preteen tries to unravel the mystery of his family's beach house in this series' second volume. Dash, a 12-year-old White boy, has no memory of vacationing at Black Sand Beach last summer, but having found a diary with his handwriting from the summer before, he's determined to figure out how this could be. Other things are strange too. In his diary, he used a different name; he's starting to remember two ghostly girls he met in the woods last summer; his supernatural neighbor is providing offerings to a sea monster; and something is different about their neighbor's bright green ram. It is clear that nothing is as it seems, but Dash, his two cousins (who are also White), and his friend (a girl of color) are ready to solve the mystery. Unfortunately, this sequel introduces even more questions to the mystery while making surprisingly little progress on those introduced in the opener, making for scant payoff and exacerbating other dissatisfying aspects of the story. Flat illustrations with a hodgepodge color palette, inconsistent lighting, and underwhelming use of space make for a jarring reading experience. The many flashback scenes are not made sufficiently visually distinct from current sequences to transition readers smoothly. Minimal context is provided to refresh readers' memories, making this volume only for passionate readers of the first volume. An underwhelming, underpolished steppingstone on the way to...who knows what? (Graphic suspense. 8-12)
