"Searching For Summer"

The mood in "Searching For Summer" is feeling depressed/miserable. I found my evidence because the book is mainly about a couple that just got married(Lily & Tom)couple that go on there honeymoon. While they are on their honeymoon, they are on a quest to "Search For Summer"(or the sun). The sun has been gone for about two years and there have been reported sightings of the sun in different places for limited times. Without the sun people have said things about the land like it's a gray, winter-ridden landscapes, dirt cheap, dump, and nothing is useful around here.
After finding all of this out, Lily & Tom begin to feel depressed, miserable, and lose hope. Their spirits are lifted up again when they do find the sun. Lily & Tom need a place to stay for the night and the only place they can is the Rising Sun Hotel. So they bring the scooter they were riding to a garage. When the owner of the garage tells them that Mr. Noakes owns the hotel, they coincidentally run into him when he gets off the bus. In front of Mr. Noakes is an old lady named Mrs. Hatching and her blind son William. Shes so caught up with her son hat she drops her hand bag and Lily notices it and picks it up after they have finished talking to Mr. Noakes and Mrs. Hatching is to far for her to go after. When Lily & Tom get to the Hotel and have baked beans Lily asks where Mrs. Hatching lives so she can bring her bag back to her. Mr. Noakes tells her but warns her that she shouldn't go at this time of night. Lily & Tom leave to bring it to her anyway.
Lily & Tom travel through the woods to find her house and just when they think they aren't going to find it, they do. They are invited into Mrs. Hatching's home and Mrs. Hatching begins to ask the a bunch of questions. One of those questions is "How did you walk all this way in this heat?" That's when they noticed it was the sun, it stood in that one place for all this time. Lily & Tom stood there for three days when they noticed that everyone might be looking for them. They thought about the image, the beautiful garden, with the bee's buzzing around. Lily & Tom didn't want anyone to come this way and ruin everything, so they left and they were satisfied with how they got to spend their honeymoon. Lily & Tom completed their goal in "Searching For Summer" which was to find summer(the sun).
