The Secret Year

Jennifer R. Hubbard

 

Viking Children's Books

$16.99

For a year Colt met Julia Vernon

every week by the bridge near

his house.  No one knew about

them, not even Julia's boyfriend.

accident and dies.  The next

week her brother gives Colt her

journal.  The journal is a re-

cap of their year together from

Julia's persepective.

 

A good quick read!

 

 

 

  

 

Bright Blue Miracle

Becca Wilhite

 

Shadow Mountain

$7.99

Bright Blue Miracle is a must

read for any teenage girl.  It's

a wonderful story about grow-

ing up and learning to share

the things that are closest to

you--your best friend (that's a

boy) and your family--with the

last person you want to share

it with . . . your "wicked"

stepsister.  I could relate to

this book in more than one

way, and recommend it for

any girl or woman.
