What if I hadn't read my summer book and had the book but no time to read it? What would I do?
Let's pretend the book was Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison.

lets then "pretend" that you then look it up on your "fake" computer and go onto the "pretend" site called sparknotes and then skim through that and learn the book... lol....
good luck

Here in Chicago, Illinois, I use the Harold Washington Library at State and Congress Parkway. It has an extensive compiliation of reading materials and mind accelerating materials. Take the book "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison and get more time on it. It sounds as though it would be a fine book to read. You can go right now and enter the main library in your city. There are marvelous, very interesting books of every sort to read. Now the libraries offer movies, seminars, exhibits and even diversified products for sale. There is no law that requires you to do summer reading. It is your decision and your life so go out and enjoy whatever you may choose to read. I recently completed "Living History" by Hillary Rodham Clinton. It was quite intense and so worthwhile and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a decent read. I just started reading Bill Clinton's "Living History" and his story is also very dynamic. Remember this, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31. Peace and God Bless.

Wow Hun, let me tell when I was in highschool which was like the last four years of my life....I was in this predicament every summer's end. Most people will tell you Sparknotes or cliffnotes...BUT, Teachers get pretty tricky trust me, What you need to do is get your paws on the book and sparknotes. Because two heads are better than one...and now that you already mutated better find a friend who read it as well because not only are two heads great but you'd be living it up with a tail. Now Go through everychapter and read as much as possible write down the names of every character you come across and numbers as well. then look into the sparknotes to find a basic meaning for the book. BUT always come up with your own assumption. after you go through the book once go back look for oddball things such as town names....who little billy met at the market, and why momma frog dropped the pin...(for example)...... BUt one thing that never failed me was having a friend who had the class before I did..... GOOD LUCK....AND better luck next year ok..LOL

You can try to find Cliff's Notes (or something similar) on it and fake your way through questions or a paper (whatever will be used to test your knowledge) OR you can be mature and fess up to not having read it, take responsibility for your actions, and ask if you can read it now and take a lesser grade for having done it late.
And remember this lesson for the future...easier to go ahead and do the assignment, than to stress over how you're going to fake your way through it.

Read as much as you can (who knows you may like it so much that you stay up all night reading it).
Talk to some others who read it for the class and ask some questions about the parts you didn't get to.
Take a look at this online chapter-by-chapter study guide:

Cry, cuz you're a bonehead and should have done it. It wasn't that much, nor that hard, and you had at least two months to do it. So cry, scramble, and hope that others were as lazy and unmotivated as you were so the class average will stay low and the teacher's expectations will stay lower.

Chances are that you aren't the only one!
Go to Amazon.com and read the reviews. that will give you some idea of what you should have read.

Pretend to be friends with the smart kids, ask them how they liked it.
