Edna in the Desert

By Maddy Lederman

Book Overview

Edna is a precocious trouble-maker wreaking havoc at her Beverly Hills school. Her therapist advocates medication, but her parents come up with an alternative cure: Edna will spend the summer in the desert with her grandparents. Their remote cabin is cut off from cell phone service, Internet and television. Edna naturally finds this arrangement unacceptable. She's determined to rebel until she meets an older local boy and falls in love for the first time. How can she get to know him from the edge of nowhere? Praise for "Edna in the Desert" "I really enjoyed it. "Edna in the Desert" really captured the teenage voice and how they think they know everything. I definitely think more schools should have the opportunity to read it."" -- Melissa Mehling, Honors English Teacher, Carle Place High School, Carle Place, NY""I LOVED the book It was so dramatic and sweet. I just loved it. I will buy several copies for my school library, and I recommend it to students and teachers."" Karen Casaceli, Gateway Middle School Librarian, Monroeville, PA"
