I look behind me as we walk toward the parking lot, gravel crunching and spraying beneath our feet.
"Whatcha' lookin' at, Aurin? I thought you weren't interested in those guys," Kenney says.
"I'm not," I say.
There is a carefully constructed balance between Aurin and her friends Kenney and Fred. Kenney is usually the one who comes up with things to do -- her flair for the dramatic can make even boring old Greensboro seem interesting. And if she is a little controlling, Aurin and Fred just look the other way.
Aurin has no intention of throwing off their established equilibrium. But when Neila joins their circle, Aurin realizes that she and Neila are becoming more than friends. Aurin and Neila are happy in their developing relationship, but Kenney feels left out. Can Aurin manage to mend things with an increasingly possessive Kenney, without letting her control this aspect of her life?
In this stunning debut novel, Tea Benduhn looks at a teen making decisions about her future while trying not to lose her past. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Gravel Queen is a fun, loving book about first love feelings. Some of it is a little over the top, in the realm of magical. While other novelslike "Keeping You a Secret" is more in depth and real, Gravel is still good.
This is a very tender caring book which was certainly written by a caring loving Person. It becomes a page turner. It teaches us to care for one another, forgive and share. Refreshing and confident. Wonderfully written. We need more writers like Tea.
Aurin and her two friends have a nice comfortable friendship in their teen world, in Greensboro, North Carolina. When new girl Neila arrives, her liveliness and fun, are an instant attraction to Aurin. How Aurin manages to bring Neila into her life, and still keep her friendships, keeps you reading. This is a sweet, touching romance, realistic, with nice touches of humour. Author Benduhn insists this story could have happened for real, and most of it seems credible. The ending is definitely satisfying. A delightful, thoughtful novel.
Gravel Queen is a smooth, flawless, entertaining and caring book. One can easily find oneself relating to the situations and characters in Gravel Queen. That is only one thing that makes this a GREAT Debut Book by an outstanding Author who I'm sure will be heard from again and again . There is Love, Kindness, humour and sensitivity and caring with a touch of cynical in parts that has to fill one's spirit. This great talent- Tea -is about to be a beacon to others.JoeB
