Garnet discovers a silver needle on a dry riverbed. Hours later, a heavy rain ends the long drought on the farm, and Garnet can't help but believe the needle is a magical amulet. The homeless boy Erik comes to the Lindens' and becomes part of the family. He becomes friends with the Lindens' children, and Garnet is deeply drawn to his adventures. With the help of the neighbors, a new barn is built, and Garnet's carefully cared-for pig Timmy wins a blue ribbon at the county fair. Every day brings wonders, just as Garnet thought—the needle made this magical summer, which is why it's called "The Summer of the Silver Needle."
