While the book doesn't mention the town's name, it provides details that paint a picture of a typical small town in the Northeast. These details include:
* Close-knit community: Minerva knows almost everyone in town and often runs into acquaintances at the local diner or grocery store.
* Rural setting: The town is surrounded by fields, forests, and farms.
* Seasonal weather: The story takes place in the summer and mentions the hot and humid weather typical of the region.
The town itself is not a major character in the story, but it serves as a backdrop for Minerva's adventures and provides context for her relationships with the other characters.
