The trouble is, when the summer is over, Sammy doesn_t want to leave. Grandma has a plan for their last day together - they are going to make the best batch of bottled sunshine anyone ever saw. After one last excursion together to find the biggest, juiciest blackberries on the island, Sammy helps his Grandma make jam. Why does she call it _bottled sunshine_? Sammy doesn_t really know, but the warm jars of jam do seem to glow, all right. When Sammy returns home, he puts a jar of the bottled sunshine on his shelf and promptly forgets about it.
