You're not lame Eggy. I remember reading the "Clan of the Cave Bear" series when I was in 7th grade. If you're not familiar with the books, they're huge and researched based. Well I read the 4 that were available at the time and then waited 12 years for the last one to come out. TWELVE YEARS!!!!! It was worth the wait, but this author spends so long researching her topic that it took her that long to get the last one out. I highly recommend the series by the way. I love to read, and now that I'm a teacher I have the most awesome excuse to read kid's and young adult authors. There are some really great books out there that fall into this age group.
What genre would your book fall into?
As far as teaching this Summer...I think if you can get away with taking the time off, then do. These are the last months those of us without a first child will have to be alone for a very, very long time. Even though I'm a full time stepmom, the kids are older and spend weekend nights out or vactions with their mom, so I get "me" time. I can't wait to give up my "me" time!!!!!
